About the Role
We're looking for PhD-level Biochemists to help evaluate and improve cutting-edge AI systems trained on advanced scientific content. Your expertise will directly shape how AI reasons through complex topics like protein folding, metabolic flux, enzyme kinetics, and molecular genetics — making a real impact on the future of life science 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 — Create rigorous, high-level biochemistry challenges across domains like nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, structural biology, and drug-target interactions to stress-test AI reasoning
- Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Write precise, step-by-step technical solutions that serve as benchmarks for AI scientific reasoning
- Audit AI Outputs — Evaluate AI-generated biochemical pathways, molecular structures, and mathematical proofs for technical accuracy and adherence to scientific standards
- Identify Reasoning Failures — Spot logical errors such as incorrect stoichiometry, flawed stereochemistry, or misapplied kinetic models, and provide structured feedback to improve AI performance
- Work Independently — Complete assignments asynchronously on your own schedule
Who You Are
- PhD (completed or in final stages) in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related field
- Strong foundational knowledge in one or more core areas: structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, bioinformatics, or molecular genetics
- Ability to communicate highly technical biological and chemical concepts clearly and precisely in written form
- High attention to detail when reviewing complex chemical equations, molecular diagrams, and experimental protocols
- No prior AI experience required
Nice to Have
- Experience with data annotation, quality evaluation, or structured scientific writing
- Familiarity with computational biochemistry tools such as PyMOL, AlphaFold, or BLAST
- Background in AI/ML adjacent research or bioinformatics
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside world-leading AI research labs
- Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule, anywhere in the world
- Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
- Gain firsthand exposure to how advanced large language models are trained and evaluated
- Contribute to meaningful work that shapes how AI handles real scientific reasoning
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
