About the Role
What if your years of biology training could directly shape how AI reasons through the most complex problems in genetics, biotechnology, and bioinformatics? We're looking for expert biologists — Masters and PhD-level — to help build and refine cutting-edge AI models that need to think like scientists.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role designed for researchers and domain experts who want to put their hard-earned knowledge to work in a high-impact, forward-looking way. No prior AI experience required — your scientific expertise is what matters.
- 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 deep expertise in genetics, biotechnology, bioinformatics, or related disciplines to craft complex, rigorous problem statements
- Evaluate AI-generated scientific reasoning and outputs for accuracy, depth, and clarity
- Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and fellow domain experts to push the boundaries of what AI can understand in biology
- Ensure scientific rigor, precision, and intellectual honesty across all deliverables
Who You Are
- Master's or PhD in Biology or a closely related field (Genetics, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Bioinformatics, etc.)
- Strong expertise in one or more of: genetics, biotechnology, bioinformatics, or adjacent life sciences
- Comfortable coding in Python or R — whether from research, coursework, or independent projects
- Exceptional written communication skills with sharp attention to scientific detail
- Fluent in English
- Self-motivated and reliable when working independently and asynchronously
Nice to Have
- Prior experience with data annotation, data quality review, or AI evaluation workflows
- Background in academic research, lab work, or applied biotech
- Familiarity with computational biology tools or bioinformatics pipelines
- Experience writing or reviewing scientific literature
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 work
- Contribute to AI development that will shape how science is understood and communicated at scale
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
