About the Role
What if your years of biology training could directly shape how AI understands genetics, biotechnology, and the life sciences — for millions of people around the world?
We're looking for biology experts with advanced degrees to tackle complex, real-world scientific problems that help train cutting-edge AI models. Your expertise won't just sit on a shelf — it will be embedded into the AI systems that researchers, students, and professionals rely on every day.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No AI background needed — just deep scientific expertise and a sharp, rigorous mind.
- 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 scientific relevance
- Apply your expertise in genetics, biotechnology, bioinformatics, or related disciplines to design complex, nuanced problem statements
- Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and domain experts to enhance how AI models reason through biological concepts
- Ensure scientific rigor, accuracy, and clarity across all deliverables
- Work independently on task-based assignments — fully on your own schedule
Who You Are
- Holds a Master's or PhD in Biology or a closely related field (Genetics, Molecular Biology, Bioinformatics, Biotechnology, etc.)
- Strong expertise in at least one of: genetics, biotechnology, or bioinformatics
- Comfortable coding in Python or R for research or data analysis purposes
- Exceptional written communicator — you can explain complex science with precision and clarity
- Detail-oriented, rigorous, and self-motivated when working independently
- Fluent in English and based in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, or New Zealand
Nice to Have
- Prior experience with data annotation, data quality review, or AI evaluation workflows
- Background in research publication, peer review, or academic writing
- Familiarity with bioinformatics pipelines, genomic datasets, or computational biology tools
- Experience communicating science to non-specialist audiences
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside the world's leading AI research labs
- Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
- Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based scientific work
- Make a direct, tangible impact on how AI reasons through complex biology
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
