About the role
Your deep scientific expertise will directly shape how AI 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 collaboration with leading AI research labs.
- Fully remote and asynchronous — work on your own schedule, wherever you are.
- Intellectually stimulating work that puts your PhD-level expertise to use in a new and impactful domain.
- Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration.
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension.
Responsibilities
- Design Advanced Problems — Create challenging biochemistry questions and scenarios across areas like 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 gold-standard benchmarks for AI reasoning in life sciences.
- Audit AI Outputs — Evaluate AI-generated biochemical pathways, molecular structures, and scientific reasoning for technical accuracy, logical consistency, and adherence to scientific standards.
- Refine AI Reasoning — Identify flaws in AI thinking — such as incorrect stoichiometry, misapplied stereochemistry, or faulty mechanistic logic — and provide structured feedback to improve model performance.
Required skills
- Strong foundational knowledge in one or more core areas: structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, bioinformatics, or molecular genetics.
- Able to communicate complex biochemical and chemical concepts clearly and precisely in writing.
- Meticulous attention to detail when reviewing chemical equations, molecular diagrams, and experimental logic.
- Self-motivated and comfortable working independently in an asynchronous environment.
Preferred skills
