Hiring companyAlignerr
About the role
Your deep scientific knowledge will directly shape how AI reasons about complex biological systems — from protein folding to metabolic pathways — making a real impact on the future of AI in life sciences.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. You set your schedule and work as much or as little as you want, week to week.
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside world-leading research labs.
- Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule, from anywhere.
- Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration.
- Contribute to meaningful work that improves how AI handles complex scientific reasoning.
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension.
Responsibilities
- Design Challenging Problems — Craft advanced biochemistry questions and scenarios spanning nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, enzyme kinetics, and drug-target interactions to rigorously test AI reasoning.
- Author Gold-Standard 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 quantitative analyses for scientific accuracy and adherence to established standards.
- Identify and Correct Reasoning Errors — Spot logical failures such as incorrect stoichiometry, misapplied stereochemistry, or flawed mechanistic reasoning, and provide structured feedback to improve AI performance.
- Work Independently and Asynchronously — Complete tasks on your own schedule with no meetings required.
Required skills
- Strong foundational expertise in one or more of: structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, bioinformatics, or molecular genetics.
- Able to communicate complex scientific concepts clearly and precisely in written English.
- High attention to detail when working with chemical equations, molecular diagrams, and experimental logic.
- Self-motivated and comfortable working independently.
Preferred skills
- Experience with data annotation, evaluation, or quality review workflows.
- Familiarity with computational biochemistry tools such as PyMOL, AlphaFold, or BLAST.
- Background in scientific writing, peer review, or curriculum development.
Experience and education
- PhD (completed or in final stages) in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related discipline.
- No prior AI experience required.
Schedule details
10–40 hours per week.
