Job description
Biochemistry Subject Matter Expert (AI Training)
About the Role
We're looking for PhD-level Biochemists to help train and refine the next generation of AI models. Your deep scientific expertise will directly shape how AI reasons through complex biochemical problems — from protein folding to metabolic flux analysis — making a real impact on how AI is used in life sciences and scientific research.
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 problems across domains such as nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, enzyme kinetics, and drug-target interactions to rigorously test AI performance
- Author Gold-Standard 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 in AI responses — such as incorrect stoichiometry, flawed stereochemistry, or misapplied mechanisms — and provide structured feedback to improve model quality
Who You Are
- Advanced Degree: PhD (completed or in progress) 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, or bioinformatics
- Clear Communicator: Able to explain complex biological and chemical concepts in precise, well-structured written form
- Detail-Oriented: High level of accuracy when reviewing chemical equations, molecular diagrams, and experimental protocols
- No prior AI experience required
Nice to Have
- Experience with data annotation, data quality evaluation, or content review workflows
- Familiarity with computational biochemistry tools such as PyMOL, AlphaFold, or BLAST
- Background in scientific writing, peer review, or academic publishing
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI projects in partnership with world-leading 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 ability to reason scientifically
- Exposure to how advanced large language models are built and evaluated
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
