About the role
As a Biochemistry Subject Matter Expert, your deep knowledge of molecular biology, enzyme kinetics, protein folding, and metabolic pathways will directly shape how next-generation AI reasons about life sciences. This is a rare opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge AI research without leaving your home — or your area of expertise.
Why Join Us
- Work on high-impact AI projects alongside top-tier research labs.
- Fully remote and flexible — set your own schedule and work when it suits you.
- Freelance autonomy with meaningful, intellectually engaging work.
- Gain firsthand exposure to how advanced large language models are trained and evaluated.
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension.
Responsibilities
- Design Advanced Problems — Craft complex, domain-specific biochemistry challenges 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 benchmarks for high-level scientific reasoning in AI systems.
- Audit AI Outputs — Evaluate AI-generated biochemical pathways, molecular structures, and mathematical derivations for scientific accuracy, logical consistency, and adherence to established standards.
- Refine AI Reasoning — Identify and document failure modes such as incorrect stoichiometry, flawed stereochemical reasoning, or misapplied kinetic models, and provide structured feedback to improve model performance.
Required skills
- Strong foundational expertise 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 written form.
- Highly detail-oriented when reviewing chemical equations, molecular diagrams, and experimental protocols.
- Self-directed and comfortable working independently on an asynchronous schedule.
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, curriculum development, or technical editing.
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.
Schedule details
10–40 hours per week.
Eligibility
Work arrangement: Fully remote
Eligible regions: Edinburgh
