Job description

Biochemistry Subject Matter Expert (AI Training)

About The Role

We're looking for PhD-level Biochemists to help train and refine cutting-edge AI models on advanced scientific topics. Your expertise will directly shape how AI understands and reasons through complex biochemistry — from protein folding to metabolic flux analysis — making a real impact on the future of scientific AI.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role designed to fit around your existing schedule. No prior AI experience is required — just deep domain knowledge and a sharp analytical mind.

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

What You'll Do

• Design Advanced Problems — Craft challenging biochemistry problems spanning nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, enzyme kinetics, and drug-target interactions to rigorously test AI performance
• Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Develop detailed, 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 accuracy, safety, and adherence to scientific standards
• Refine AI Reasoning — Identify and document logical errors in AI responses — such as incorrect stoichiometry, flawed stereochemistry, or misapplied biological principles — and provide structured feedback to improve model performance

Who You Are

• Advanced Degree — PhD (completed or in final stages) in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related field
• Deep Domain Knowledge — Strong expertise in one or more core areas such as structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, or bioinformatics
• Clear Technical Communicator — Able to translate complex biological and chemical concepts into precise, well-structured written explanations
• Detail-Oriented — High level of precision when reviewing chemical equations, molecular diagrams, and experimental protocols
• No prior AI experience required

Nice to Have

• Experience with data annotation, quality evaluation, or academic peer review
• Familiarity with computational biochemistry tools such as PyMOL, AlphaFold, or BLAST
• Background in science writing, grant writing, or technical documentation

Why Join Us

• Work on meaningful projects at the frontier of AI and life sciences
• Fully remote and asynchronous — work when and where it suits you
• Freelance flexibility: choose your hours, maintain your autonomy
• Collaborate with a global network of domain experts and AI researchers
• Gain firsthand exposure to how advanced large language models are trained and evaluated
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
