About the role

Your deep scientific expertise will directly shape how AI reasons through complex topics — 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 required — just rigorous scientific knowledge and sharp analytical thinking.

Why Join Us

  • Work on cutting-edge AI projects in partnership with leading AI research labs.
  • Fully remote and flexible — work when and how much you want.
  • Directly influence how AI understands and communicates advanced science.
  • Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration.
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension.

Responsibilities

  • Design Challenging Problems — Create advanced biochemistry questions spanning nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, structural biology, and drug-target interactions to stress-test AI reasoning.
  • Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Write rigorous, step-by-step technical responses that serve as benchmarks for high-level scientific accuracy.
  • Audit AI Outputs — Review AI-generated biochemical pathways, molecular structures, and mathematical proofs for correctness and adherence to scientific standards.
  • Identify Reasoning Errors — Catch logical flaws such as incorrect stoichiometry, misapplied stereochemistry, or faulty metabolic logic, and provide structured feedback to improve model performance.
  • Work Asynchronously — Complete tasks independently on your own schedule with no fixed hours.

Required skills

  • Strong foundational expertise in areas such as enzymology, structural biology, cellular metabolism, or bioinformatics.
  • Able to communicate complex scientific concepts clearly and precisely in written form.
  • High attention to detail when reviewing chemical equations, molecular diagrams, and experimental protocols.
  • Self-motivated and comfortable working independently.

Preferred skills

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

Experience and education

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