About the Role

What if your years of advanced biology training could directly shape how AI understands genetics, biotechnology, and the life sciences — for millions of people around the world?

We're looking for Biology Specialists with Masters or PhD-level expertise to help build and evaluate cutting-edge AI models. Your scientific knowledge will be used to create, solve, and review complex biology problems that push the boundaries of what AI can reason through.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No prior AI experience needed — just deep domain expertise and a passion for scientific rigor.

  • Organization: Alignerr
  • Type: Hourly Contract
  • Location: Remote
  • Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

  • Develop, solve, and critically review advanced biology problems with real-world scientific relevance
  • Apply your expertise in genetics, biotechnology, bioinformatics, or related disciplines to design complex, high-quality problem statements
  • Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and fellow domain experts to strengthen AI model reasoning
  • Ensure scientific accuracy, clarity, and depth across all deliverables
  • Use Python or R where applicable to support data-driven or computational tasks

Who You Are

  • Hold a Master's or PhD in Biology or a closely related field — Genetics, Molecular Biology, Bioinformatics, Biotechnology, or equivalent
  • Deeply knowledgeable in one or more core areas: genetics, biotechnology, or bioinformatics
  • Comfortable coding in Python or R for research or analytical tasks
  • Exceptionally clear and precise in written communication — you can explain complex science without losing rigor
  • Detail-oriented and self-motivated when working independently and asynchronously
  • Fluent in English

Nice to Have

  • Prior experience with data annotation, data quality review, or AI evaluation systems
  • Background in computational biology, systems biology, or genomics
  • Experience designing or peer-reviewing scientific problems or assessments
  • Familiarity with AI tools or large language model workflows

Why Join Us

  • Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside the world's leading research labs
  • Fully remote and flexible — set your own hours and work from anywhere
  • Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, intellectually stimulating work
  • Make a direct, tangible impact on how AI reasons through complex scientific problems
  • Contribute to AI development that will shape the future of biology and life sciences research
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
