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 systems. Your deep scientific expertise will directly shape how AI understands and reasons through complex biochemistry --- from protein folding to metabolic flux analysis --- making a real impact on how these models serve the scientific community.
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 Advanced Problems --- Create challenging biochemistry questions and scenarios across domains like nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, enzyme kinetics, and drug-target interactions to rigorously test AI performance
- Author Ground-Truth Solutions --- Develop precise, step-by-step technical solutions and benchmark responses that guide AI toward accurate, high-level scientific reasoning
- Audit AI Outputs --- Critically 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 kinetic models --- and provide structured feedback that improves how the model thinks through life science problems
Who You Are
- Advanced Degree: PhD (completed or in final stages) in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related field
- Domain Expertise: Strong foundational knowledge in one or more areas such as structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, bioinformatics, or molecular genetics
- Analytical Writer: Able to communicate highly technical biological and chemical concepts clearly and precisely in written form
- Detail-Oriented: High level of precision when working with complex chemical equations, molecular diagrams, and experimental protocols
- No prior AI experience required
Nice to Have
- Experience with data annotation, data quality, or evaluation workflows
- Familiarity with computational biochemistry tools such as PyMOL, AlphaFold, or BLAST
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside the world's leading AI research labs
- Fully remote and flexible --- work on your own schedule, anywhere in the world
- Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
- Gain firsthand exposure to how advanced large language models are trained and evaluated
- Contribute to meaningful work that improves how AI handles real scientific reasoning
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
