Job description

Biochemistry Subject Matter Expert (AI Training)

We're looking for PhD-level biochemists to help evaluate and improve cutting-edge AI systems trained on advanced scientific content. Your expertise will directly shape how AI understands and reasons through complex biochemical concepts - from protein folding to metabolic flux - making a real impact on the future of AI in life sciences.

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

What You'll Do

• Design advanced biochemistry problems across domains such as nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, enzyme kinetics, and drug-target interactions to rigorously test AI performance
• Author precise, step-by-step "ground-truth" solutions that serve as benchmarks for high-level scientific reasoning
• Evaluate AI-generated biochemical pathways, molecular structures, and mathematical proofs for technical accuracy and adherence to scientific standards
• Identify logical errors in AI reasoning - such as incorrect stoichiometry, flawed stereochemistry, or misapplied metabolic models - and provide structured feedback to guide model improvement
• Work independently and 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 core areas: structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, bioinformatics, or proteomics
• Able to communicate complex biological and chemical concepts clearly and precisely in written form
• High attention to detail when reviewing chemical equations, molecular diagrams, and experimental protocols
• Self-motivated and comfortable working independently in a remote environment
• No prior AI experience required

Nice to Have

• Experience with data annotation, data quality review, or evaluation workflows
• Familiarity with computational biochemistry tools such as PyMOL, AlphaFold, or BLAST
• Background in scientific writing, peer review, or curriculum development

Why Join Us

• Work on cutting-edge AI projects in partnership with top AI research labs
• Fully remote and flexible - work on your own schedule, anywhere in the world
• Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
• Contribute to meaningful work that advances AI's understanding of life science
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
