Biochemistry Subject Matter Expert - AI Content Specialist
We're looking for PhD-level Biochemists to help evaluate and improve the next generation of AI systems.
Hiring companyAlignerr
About the role
Your deep scientific expertise will directly shape how AI understands and reasons through complex biochemistry — from protein folding to metabolic flux analysis — making a real impact on how these models serve the scientific community.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No prior AI experience required.
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside the world's 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 improves how AI handles real scientific reasoning.
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension.
Responsibilities
- Design Advanced Problems — Create challenging biochemistry questions and scenarios across domains like nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, enzyme kinetics, 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 — Critically 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, flawed stereochemistry, or misapplied kinetic models — and provide structured feedback that improves how the model thinks through life science problems.
Required skills
- Domain Expertise: Strong foundational knowledge in one or more areas such as structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, bioinformatics, or molecular genetics.
- Analytical Writer: Able to communicate highly technical biological and chemical concepts clearly and precisely in written form.
- Detail-Oriented: High level of precision when working with complex chemical equations, molecular diagrams, and experimental protocols.
Preferred skills
- Experience with data annotation, data quality, or evaluation workflows.
- Familiarity with computational biochemistry tools such as PyMOL, AlphaFold, or BLAST.
Experience and education
- Advanced Degree: PhD (completed or in final stages) in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related field.
- No prior AI experience required.
