About the Role
What if your years of biology expertise could directly shape how AI reasons about genetics, biotechnology, and the life sciences — for researchers and students around the world?
We're looking for Biology experts with advanced degrees to tackle complex, real-world problems that teach AI how to think like a scientist. This isn't data entry — it's intellectually stimulating work that puts your domain knowledge front and centre.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role designed to fit around your existing commitments. Whether you're a postdoc, an independent researcher, or a working professional with a Masters or PhD, this is your opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge AI development without leaving your field.
- 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, molecular biology, biotechnology, bioinformatics, or related areas to design rigorous, complex problem sets
- Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and domain experts to enhance how AI models reason through life science challenges
- Ensure scientific accuracy, clarity, and depth across all deliverables
- Help set the standard for how AI understands and communicates biological concepts
Who You Are
- Hold a Master's or PhD in Biology or a closely related field — Genetics, Molecular Biology, Bioinformatics, Biotechnology, or equivalent
- Comfortable working with Python or R in a research or analytical context
- Deep subject matter expertise in one or more areas: genetics, biotechnology, or bioinformatics
- Exceptionally clear communicator — you can explain complex ideas with precision and without jargon when needed
- Self-directed and dependable — you hold yourself to a high standard when working independently
- Currently based in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, or New Zealand
Nice to Have
- Prior experience with data annotation, evaluation systems, or AI training workflows
- Background in academic publishing, research writing, or peer review
- Familiarity with computational biology tools or bioinformatics pipelines
- Experience translating technical scientific content for diverse audiences
Why Join Us
- Work on genuinely interesting problems — your scientific expertise is the product
- Fully remote and asynchronous — structure your hours around your life
- Collaborate with world-leading AI research teams on frontier model development
- Freelance flexibility with meaningful, substantive work — not busywork
- Contribute to AI that will shape how science is taught, communicated, and applied globally
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
