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 reasoning. Your expertise will directly shape how AI understands and communicates complex biochemical concepts — from protein folding and enzyme kinetics to metabolic flux and molecular genetics.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No prior AI experience is needed — just deep biochemistry knowledge and the ability to think critically about scientific accuracy.

  • Organization: Alignerr
  • Type: Hourly Contract
  • Location: Remote
  • Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

  • Design Advanced Problems — Create challenging biochemistry problems spanning nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, structural biology, 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 scientific reasoning in AI systems
  • Audit AI Outputs — Evaluate AI-generated biochemical pathways, molecular structures, and mathematical proofs for accuracy, safety, and scientific integrity
  • Refine AI Reasoning — Identify logical errors such as incorrect stoichiometry or misapplied stereochemistry, and provide structured feedback to improve the model's scientific thinking
  • Work Independently — Complete task-based assignments asynchronously on a schedule that fits your life

Who You Are

  • PhD-level expertise — Completed or near-completion PhD in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related discipline
  • Strong domain knowledge — Deep grounding in areas such as structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, bioinformatics, or related fields
  • Clear scientific communicator — Able to translate complex biochemical concepts into precise, well-structured written explanations
  • Detail-oriented — High precision when evaluating chemical equations, molecular diagrams, and experimental protocols
  • No AI experience required — Your scientific expertise is what matters most

Nice to Have

  • Experience with data annotation, quality evaluation, or scientific peer review
  • Familiarity with computational biochemistry tools such as PyMOL, AlphaFold, or BLAST
  • Background in scientific writing or academic publishing

Why Join Us

  • Work on impactful AI projects in partnership with the world's leading AI research labs
  • Fully remote and flexible — design your own schedule around your existing commitments
  • Contribute to advancing how AI handles real scientific reasoning — not just surface-level answers
  • Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and collaboration with a global expert community
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
