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 deep domain expertise will directly shape how AI reasons through complex biochemistry — from protein folding to metabolic flux — 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 Advanced Problems — Create challenging biochemistry questions spanning nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, enzyme kinetics, and drug-target interactions to rigorously test AI performance
- Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Write precise, step-by-step technical solutions that serve as benchmarks for high-level AI scientific reasoning
- 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 or misunderstood stereochemistry, and provide structured feedback to improve the model's scientific thinking
- Work Independently — Complete task-based assignments asynchronously on your own schedule
Who You Are
- Hold a PhD (completed or in final stages) in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related field
- Have strong foundational knowledge in areas such as structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, or bioinformatics
- Can communicate complex biological and chemical concepts clearly and precisely in written form
- Have a sharp eye for detail when reviewing chemical equations, molecular diagrams, and experimental protocols
- No prior AI or data annotation 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
- Background in scientific writing or technical communication
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI projects in partnership with the world's leading AI research labs
- Fully remote and flexible — work when and how much you want, 10–40 hours/week
- Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
- Contribute to meaningful work at the intersection of science and AI
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
