About the role

Your deep scientific expertise will directly shape how AI understands and reasons through complex topics like protein folding, metabolic flux, enzyme kinetics, and molecular genetics — making a real impact on the future of scientific AI.

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

Why Join Us

  • Work on cutting-edge AI projects in partnership with leading AI 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 AI accuracy in life sciences.
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension.

Responsibilities

  • Design Challenging Problems — Craft advanced biochemistry questions across domains like nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, structural biology, and drug-target interactions to rigorously test AI performance.
  • 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 mathematical proofs for technical accuracy and adherence to scientific standards.
  • Refine AI Reasoning — Identify logical errors such as incorrect stoichiometry, flawed stereochemistry, or misapplied biochemical principles, and provide structured feedback to improve model accuracy.
  • Work Independently — Complete assignments asynchronously on your own schedule.

Required skills

  • Deep foundational knowledge in one or more areas: structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, bioinformatics, or molecular genetics.
  • Able to communicate complex biological and chemical concepts clearly in written form.
  • Highly detail-oriented when reviewing chemical equations, molecular diagrams, and experimental protocols.
  • Self-motivated and comfortable working independently.

Preferred skills

  • Experience with data annotation, quality evaluation, or scientific review workflows.
  • Familiarity with computational biochemistry tools such as PyMOL, AlphaFold, or BLAST.
  • Background in science writing, technical editing, or research communication.

Experience and education

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