About the role

Your deep expertise will directly shape how AI reasons through complex biochemical problems — from protein folding to metabolic flux — making a real impact on the future of AI in scientific research.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No prior AI experience required.

Why Join Us

  • Work on high-impact AI projects alongside world-leading research labs.
  • Fully remote and flexible — set your own schedule, work from anywhere.
  • Gain rare, hands-on exposure to how advanced large language models are trained.
  • Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and collaboration with a global expert community.
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension.

Responsibilities

  • Design Challenging Problems — Create advanced biochemistry problems spanning 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 set the standard for high-level scientific reasoning in AI.
  • Audit AI Outputs — 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 or misunderstood stereochemistry, and provide structured feedback to improve the model's scientific thinking.
  • Work Independently — Complete assignments on your own schedule, asynchronously, with full flexibility over your weekly hours.

Required skills

  • Strong foundational knowledge in one or more areas: structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, bioinformatics, or proteomics.
  • Ability to communicate highly technical biological and chemical concepts clearly in written form.
  • High attention to detail when reviewing complex chemical equations, molecular diagrams, and experimental protocols.
  • Self-motivated and comfortable working independently in a remote environment.

Preferred skills

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

Experience and education

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

Schedule details

10–40 hours per week.
