About the Role

What if your years of biology training could directly shape how AI reasons about genetics, biotechnology, and the life sciences — influencing the tools that researchers, clinicians, and students will rely on for decades to come?

We're looking for Biology experts with advanced degrees to help build and refine cutting-edge AI models. You'll bring your specialist knowledge to bear on complex, real-world biology problems — ensuring AI systems think with the rigor and depth that the field demands.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No AI background needed — just deep command of your discipline and a commitment to scientific precision.

  • Organization: Alignerr
  • Type: Hourly Contract
  • Location: Remote
  • Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

  • Develop, solve, and critically review advanced biology problems with real-world relevance
  • Apply your expertise in genetics, biotechnology, bioinformatics, or related areas to design complex, nuanced problem statements
  • Evaluate AI-generated scientific content for accuracy, rigor, and depth
  • Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and fellow domain experts to enhance model reasoning
  • Ensure scientific clarity and correctness across all deliverables
  • Work independently on task-based assignments — fully on your own schedule

Who You Are

  • Master's or PhD in Biology or a closely related field (Genetics, Molecular Biology, Bioinformatics, Biotechnology, etc.)
  • Deep expertise in at least one of: genetics, biotechnology, or bioinformatics
  • Comfortable coding in Python or R for research or analytical tasks
  • Exceptionally clear written communicator — you can explain complex science with precision and accessibility
  • Detail-oriented and methodical — scientific rigor is non-negotiable for you
  • Fluent in English

Nice to Have

  • Prior experience with data annotation, data labelling, or AI evaluation workflows
  • Background in peer review, academic writing, or science communication
  • Familiarity with computational biology tools or bioinformatics pipelines
  • Experience designing or grading advanced coursework or research problems

Why Join Us

  • Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs
  • Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
  • Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, intellectually stimulating work
  • Make a direct, lasting impact on how AI understands and reasons about biology
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
