Job description

Biochemistry Subject Matter Expert (AI Training)

About The Role

We're looking for PhD-level Biochemists to help evaluate and improve the next generation of AI models. Your deep scientific expertise will directly shape how AI understands and reasons through complex topics like protein folding, metabolic flux, enzyme kinetics, and molecular genetics - making a real impact on the future of scientific AI.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No prior AI experience required.

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

What You'll Do

• Design Challenging Problems - Craft advanced biochemistry questions across domains such as nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, structural biology, and drug-target interactions to rigorously test AI performance
• Author Gold-Standard Solutions - Write precise, step-by-step technical solutions that serve as benchmarks for high-level scientific reasoning in AI systems
• Audit AI Outputs - Evaluate AI-generated biochemical pathways, molecular structures, and mathematical proofs for technical accuracy and adherence to scientific standards
• Refine AI Reasoning - Identify logical errors such as incorrect stoichiometry, flawed stereochemistry, or misapplied biochemical principles, and provide structured feedback to improve model accuracy
• Work Independently - Complete assignments 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 areas: structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, bioinformatics, or molecular genetics
• Able to communicate complex biological and chemical concepts clearly in written form
• Highly detail-oriented when reviewing chemical equations, molecular diagrams, and experimental protocols
• Self-motivated and comfortable working independently
• No prior AI experience required

Nice to Have

• Experience with data annotation, quality evaluation, or scientific review workflows
• Familiarity with computational biochemistry tools such as PyMOL, AlphaFold, or BLAST
• Background in science writing, technical editing, or research communication

Why Join Us

• Work on cutting-edge AI projects in partnership with leading AI research labs
• Fully remote and flexible - work on your own schedule, from anywhere
• Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
• Contribute to meaningful work that improves AI accuracy in life sciencesPotential for ongoing work and contract extension
