About the Role
We're looking for PhD-level Biochemists to help train and refine the next generation of AI models. Your deep scientific expertise will directly shape how AI understands and reasons through complex topics — from protein folding and enzyme kinetics to metabolic flux and molecular genetics.
This is a rare opportunity to apply your research-level knowledge in a flexible, remote contract role that fits around your existing schedule. No prior AI experience required.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Design Challenging Problems — Create advanced biochemistry problems spanning nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, structural biology, and drug-target interactions to stress-test AI reasoning
- Author Gold-Standard Solutions — Write rigorous, step-by-step technical responses that serve as benchmarks for high-level scientific reasoning in AI systems
- Audit AI Outputs — Evaluate AI-generated biochemical pathways, molecular structures, and mathematical reasoning for technical accuracy and scientific integrity
- Refine AI Reasoning — Identify logical errors such as incorrect stoichiometry, flawed stereochemistry, or misapplied biochemical principles, and provide structured feedback to improve model performance
Who You Are
- Holds a PhD (completed or in final stages) in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related field
- Deep knowledge in one or more core areas: structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, bioinformatics, or molecular genetics
- Able to communicate complex biochemical and chemical concepts clearly and precisely in written form
- Highly detail-oriented when reviewing chemical equations, molecular diagrams, and experimental logic
- Self-motivated and comfortable working independently and asynchronously
- No prior AI or data annotation experience required
Nice to Have
- Experience with data annotation, quality evaluation, or research review workflows
- Familiarity with computational biochemistry tools such as PyMOL, AlphaFold, or BLAST
- Background in scientific writing, peer review, or academic publishing
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI projects in partnership with world-leading AI research labs
- Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule, as much or as little as fits your life
- Put your expertise to meaningful use beyond the lab — directly influencing how AI handles life science reasoning
- Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and collaboration with a global community of experts
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
