About the Role
We're looking for PhD-level Biochemists to help train and refine cutting-edge AI models on advanced scientific reasoning. Your expertise will directly shape how AI understands and communicates complex biochemistry — from protein folding to metabolic flux — making a real impact on the future of scientific AI.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No prior AI experience required.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Design Advanced Problems — Craft challenging biochemistry questions across domains like nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, enzyme kinetics, and drug-target interactions to rigorously test AI performance
- Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Develop precise, step-by-step technical solutions that serve as benchmarks for high-level AI scientific reasoning
- Audit AI Outputs — Evaluate AI-generated biochemical pathways, molecular structures, and mathematical proofs for technical accuracy and adherence to scientific standards
- Refine AI Reasoning — Identify logical errors — such as incorrect stoichiometry or misunderstood stereochemistry — and provide structured feedback to improve how AI models approach life science problems
Who You Are
- Advanced Degree: PhD (completed or in progress) in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related field
- Domain Expert: Strong foundational knowledge in areas such as structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, or bioinformatics
- Clear Communicator: Able to explain highly technical biological and chemical concepts in precise, well-structured written form
- Detail-Oriented: High level of precision when reviewing complex chemical equations, molecular diagrams, and experimental protocols
- No prior AI experience required
Nice to Have
- Experience with data annotation, data quality, or evaluation workflows
- Familiarity with computational biochemistry tools such as PyMOL, AlphaFold, or BLAST
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI projects in partnership with the world's leading AI research labs
- Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule, anywhere in the world
- Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
- Contribute to meaningful work that advances the accuracy of AI in scientific research
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
