Job description
Biochemistry Subject Matter Expert (AI Training)
About the Role
We're looking for PhD-level Biochemists to help train and improve the next generation of AI systems. Your deep scientific expertise will directly shape how AI reasons through complex biochemistry — from protein folding and enzyme kinetics to metabolic flux and molecular genetics.
This is a rare opportunity to apply your research knowledge outside the lab, work on genuinely challenging problems, and contribute to cutting-edge AI development — all on your own schedule.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Design Advanced Problems — Craft challenging biochemistry scenarios across domains like nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, structural biology, 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 — 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, misunderstood stereochemistry, or flawed reaction mechanisms, and provide structured feedback to improve model performance
Who You Are
- PhD (completed or in final stages) in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related field
- Strong foundational expertise in areas such as enzymology, structural biology, cellular metabolism, or bioinformatics
- 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-directed and comfortable working independently in a remote, async environment
- 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 intellectually stimulating problems at the frontier of AI and life sciences
- Fully remote and flexible — work when and as much as you choose
- Collaborate with a global network of expert scientists and researchers
- Gain firsthand exposure to how advanced large language models are trained and evaluated
- Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and meaningful impact
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
