Job description

Biochemist – AI Data Trainer

About the Role

We're looking for PhD-level Biochemists to help train and refine the next generation of AI systems. Your scientific expertise will directly shape how AI understands and reasons through complex biochemistry — from protein folding and enzyme kinetics to metabolic flux and molecular genetics. This is a rare opportunity to apply your deep domain knowledge to one of the most transformative technologies of our time, all from the comfort of 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 problems spanning nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, drug-target interactions, and more to rigorously stress-test AI performance
  • Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Write precise, step-by-step technical responses 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 technical accuracy and adherence to scientific standards
  • Identify and Correct Reasoning Errors — Pinpoint logical failures — such as incorrect stoichiometry, flawed stereochemistry, or misapplied biochemical principles — and deliver structured feedback to improve AI reasoning

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 of: structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, bioinformatics, or proteomics
  • Able to communicate highly technical biological and chemical concepts clearly and precisely in writing
  • Detail-oriented with a sharp eye for errors in complex chemical equations, molecular diagrams, and experimental logic
  • Self-motivated and comfortable working independently and asynchronously
  • 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 writing scientific documentation, technical reports, or academic publications

Why Join Us

  • Work on cutting-edge AI projects in partnership with leading AI research labs
  • Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule, anywhere in the world
  • Make a meaningful impact on how AI handles scientific reasoning in the life sciences
  • Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and collaboration with a global expert community
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
