Job description

Biochemistry Subject Matter Expert (AI Training)

About the Role

We're partnering with the world's leading AI research teams to build smarter, more scientifically rigorous AI models — and we need expert biochemists to help make it happen.

As a Biochemistry Subject Matter Expert, your deep knowledge of molecular biology, enzyme kinetics, protein folding, and metabolic pathways will directly shape how next-generation AI reasons about life sciences. This is a rare opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge AI research without leaving your home — or your area of expertise.

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

What You'll Do

  • Design Advanced Problems — Craft complex, domain-specific biochemistry challenges across areas like 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 derivations for scientific accuracy, logical consistency, and adherence to established standards
  • Refine AI Reasoning — Identify and document failure modes such as incorrect stoichiometry, flawed stereochemical reasoning, or misapplied kinetic models, and provide structured feedback to improve model performance

Who You Are

  • Holds a PhD (completed or in final stages) in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related field
  • Strong foundational expertise in one or more core areas: structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, bioinformatics, or molecular genetics
  • Able to communicate complex biochemical and chemical concepts clearly and precisely in written form
  • Highly detail-oriented when reviewing chemical equations, molecular diagrams, and experimental protocols
  • Self-directed and comfortable working independently on an asynchronous schedule
  • No prior AI experience required

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, curriculum development, or technical editing

Why Join Us

  • Work on high-impact AI projects alongside top-tier research labs
  • Fully remote and flexible — set your own schedule and work when it suits you
  • Freelance autonomy with meaningful, intellectually engaging work
  • Gain firsthand exposure to how advanced large language models are trained and evaluated
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
