Your expertise will directly shape how AI understands and reasons through complex biochemical concepts — from protein folding to metabolic flux — making a real impact on the future of AI in life sciences.

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

Why Join Us

• Work on cutting-edge AI projects in collaboration with world-leading research labs.
• Fully remote and asynchronous — work on your own schedule, from anywhere.
• Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration.
• Contribute to meaningful work that advances AI's understanding of life sciences.
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension.

• Design Advanced Problems — Create challenging biochemistry questions across domains like nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, enzyme kinetics, and drug-target interactions to stress-test AI reasoning.
• Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Write rigorous, 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 technical accuracy and scientific integrity.
• Refine AI Reasoning — Identify logical errors — such as incorrect stoichiometry, misapplied stereochemistry, or flawed mechanistic reasoning — and provide structured feedback to improve model performance.

• Holds a PhD (completed or in final stages) in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related field.
• No prior AI experience required.
