Biochemistry Subject Matter Expert - AI Content Specialist
We're looking for PhD-level Biochemists to help train and refine cutting-edge AI models on advanced scientific reasoning.
Hiring companyAlignerr
About the role
Your expertise will directly shape how AI understands and communicates complex biochemical concepts — from protein folding and enzyme kinetics to metabolic flux and molecular genetics.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No prior AI experience is needed — just deep biochemistry knowledge and the ability to think critically about scientific accuracy.
Why Join Us
- Work on impactful AI projects in partnership with the world's leading AI research labs.
- Fully remote and flexible — design your own schedule around your existing commitments.
- Contribute to advancing how AI handles real scientific reasoning — not just surface-level answers.
- Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and collaboration with a global expert community.
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension.
Responsibilities
- Design Advanced Problems — Create challenging biochemistry problems spanning nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, structural biology, and drug-target interactions to rigorously test AI performance.
- Author Ground-Truth 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 mathematical proofs for accuracy, safety, and scientific integrity.
- Refine AI Reasoning — Identify logical errors such as incorrect stoichiometry or misapplied stereochemistry, and provide structured feedback to improve the model's scientific thinking.
- Work Independently — Complete task-based assignments asynchronously on a schedule that fits your life.
Required skills
- Strong domain knowledge — Deep grounding in areas such as structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, bioinformatics, or related fields.
- Clear scientific communicator — Able to translate complex biochemical concepts into precise, well-structured written explanations.
- Detail-oriented — High precision when evaluating chemical equations, molecular diagrams, and experimental protocols.
Preferred skills
- Experience with data annotation, quality evaluation, or scientific peer review.
- Familiarity with computational biochemistry tools such as PyMOL, AlphaFold, or BLAST.
- Background in scientific writing or academic publishing.
Experience and education
- PhD-level expertise — Completed or near-completion PhD in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related discipline.
- No AI experience required — Your scientific expertise is what matters most.
