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 understands and reasons through complex biochemical concepts — from protein folding to metabolic flux — making a real impact on the future of AI in life sciences.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Design advanced biochemistry problems across domains such as nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, enzyme kinetics, and drug-target interactions to rigorously test AI performance
- Author precise, step-by-step "ground-truth" solutions that serve as benchmarks for high-level scientific reasoning
- Evaluate AI-generated biochemical pathways, molecular structures, and mathematical proofs for technical accuracy and adherence to scientific standards
- Identify logical errors in AI reasoning — such as incorrect stoichiometry, flawed stereochemistry, or misapplied metabolic models — and provide structured feedback to guide model improvement
- Work independently and asynchronously on your own schedule
Who You Are
- Holds a PhD (completed or in final stages) in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related field
- Deep foundational knowledge in one or more core areas: structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, bioinformatics, or proteomics
- Able to communicate complex biological and chemical concepts clearly and precisely in written form
- High attention to detail when reviewing chemical equations, molecular diagrams, and experimental protocols
- Self-motivated and comfortable working independently in a remote environment
- No prior AI experience required
Nice to Have
- Experience with data annotation, data quality review, or evaluation workflows
- Familiarity with computational biochemistry tools such as PyMOL, AlphaFold, or BLAST
- Background in scientific writing, peer review, or curriculum development
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI projects in partnership with top 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 AI's understanding of life science
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
