Résumé du poste

Alignerr is seeking a PhD-level Biochemist to train AI systems remotely. You will design advanced biochemistry challenges, author ground-truth solutions, and audit AI outputs for accuracy and safety.

Your deep knowledge of protein folding, enzymology, and molecular genetics will shape life-science reasoning in AI. You’ll work as an hourly contractor, 10–40 hours per week, with fully remote flexibility and the chance of ongoing projects.

Qualifications

• PhD completed or in final stages in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or related field.
• Strong domain knowledge in structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, or bioinformatics.
• Excellent scientific writing and communication skills.
• Detail-oriented with high precision in chemical equations, diagrams and protocols.
• No AI experience required — training will be provided.

Responsabilités

• Design advanced biochemistry challenges across nucleic acids, proteomics, and drug-target interactions to test AI performance.
• Author detailed, step-by-step solutions and golden responses as benchmarks for AI reasoning.
• Audit AI outputs: biochemical pathways, structures, and proofs for accuracy and safety.
• Provide structured feedback to improve AI reasoning and correct logical errors in life-science problems.

Biochemist – AI Data Trainer

About The Role

Your biochemistry expertise is more valuable than ever — not just in the lab, but in shaping the next generation of AI. Alignerr partners with the world's leading AI research teams to build and refine cutting-edge models, and we need PhD-level Biochemists to help us get the science right.

In this fully remote contract role, you'll put your deep knowledge of protein folding, metabolic flux, enzyme kinetics, and molecular genetics to work — challenging AI systems, exposing their weaknesses, and helping them reason better about life sciences. No AI background required. Just rigorous scientific thinking and a passion for precision.

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

What You'll Do

• Design Complex Problems — Develop advanced biochemistry challenges across domains like nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, and drug-target interactions to rigorously test AI performance.
• Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Write detailed, step-by-step technical solutions and "golden responses" that serve as scientific benchmarks for high-level AI reasoning.
• 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 logical errors — such as incorrect stoichiometry, flawed stereochemistry, or misapplied enzymatic principles — and provide structured feedback to improve how models think through life science problems.

Who You Are

• Advanced Degree: PhD (completed or in final stages) in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related field.
• Deep Domain Knowledge: Strong foundational expertise in areas such as structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, or bioinformatics.
• Scientific Writer: Able to communicate complex biological and chemical concepts clearly, concisely, and accurately in written form.
• Detail-Oriented: High precision when reviewing chemical equations, molecular diagrams, reaction mechanisms, and experimental protocols.
• No AI experience required — we'll guide you through everything you need to know.

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 publishing, peer review, or technical writing.

Why Join Us

• Work on high-impact AI projects alongside top research labs and scientists.
• Fully remote and flexible — design your own schedule around your life.
• Contribute meaningfully to AI that will influence scientific research globally.
• Freelance autonomy with the collaborative energy of a world-class team.
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as projects grow.
