Job description

Biochemistry Subject Matter Expert (AI Training)

About the Role

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 reasons through complex topics like protein folding, metabolic flux, enzyme kinetics, and molecular genetics — making a real impact on the future of life science 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 rigorous, high-level biochemistry challenges across domains like nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, structural biology, and drug-target interactions to stress-test AI reasoning
  • Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Write precise, step-by-step technical solutions that serve as benchmarks for AI scientific reasoning
  • Audit AI Outputs — Evaluate AI-generated biochemical pathways, molecular structures, and mathematical proofs for technical accuracy and adherence to scientific standards
  • Identify Reasoning Failures — Spot logical errors such as incorrect stoichiometry, flawed stereochemistry, or misapplied kinetic models, and provide structured feedback to improve AI performance
  • Work Independently — Complete assignments asynchronously on your own schedule

Who You Are

  • PhD (completed or in final stages) in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related field
  • Strong foundational knowledge in one or more core areas: structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, bioinformatics, or molecular genetics
  • Ability to communicate highly technical biological and chemical concepts clearly and precisely in written form
  • High attention to detail when reviewing complex chemical equations, molecular diagrams, and experimental protocols
  • No prior AI experience required

Nice to Have

  • Experience with data annotation, quality evaluation, or structured scientific writing
  • Familiarity with computational biochemistry tools such as PyMOL, AlphaFold, or BLAST
  • Background in AI/ML adjacent research or bioinformatics

Why Join Us

  • Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside 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
  • Gain firsthand exposure to how advanced large language models are trained and evaluated
  • Contribute to meaningful work that shapes how AI handles real scientific reasoning
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
