About the Role
What if your years of graduate-level biology training could directly shape how AI reasons about genetics, biotechnology, and the life sciences — influencing tools used by researchers and scientists around the world?
We're looking for Biology Specialists with advanced degrees to tackle complex, real-world problems and help train the next generation of AI models. You'll bring scientific rigor to cutting-edge AI development — reviewing, designing, and solving problems that push the boundaries of what AI understands about biology.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for working scientists and researchers. No prior AI experience required — just deep domain expertise and a sharp analytical mind.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Develop, solve, and review advanced biology problems with real-world scientific relevance
- Apply your expertise in genetics, biotechnology, bioinformatics, or related areas to design complex problem statements
- Evaluate AI-generated biological content for scientific accuracy, depth, and clarity
- Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and fellow domain experts to enhance model reasoning
- Ensure every deliverable meets the highest standards of scientific rigor and precision
Who You Are
- Holder of a Master's or PhD in Biology or a closely related field — Genetics, Molecular Biology, Bioinformatics, Biotechnology, or similar
- Experienced with Python or R for research, analysis, or data-driven projects
- Deeply knowledgeable in at least one of: genetics, biotechnology, or bioinformatics
- An exceptional communicator — able to explain complex scientific concepts clearly in writing
- Detail-oriented, self-directed, and comfortable working independently in an asynchronous environment
- Fluent in English
Nice to Have
- Prior experience with data annotation, data quality assessment, or AI evaluation workflows
- Background in research publication, peer review, or scientific editing
- Familiarity with AI tools or language model outputs as an end user
- Experience working across multiple subfields of biology
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs and AI teams
- 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 understands and reasons about the life sciences
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
- Training and support provided — you bring the expertise, we handle the onboarding
