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.
