About the role

Your deep scientific expertise will directly shape how AI understands and reasons through complex biochemical concepts — from protein folding to metabolic flux analysis. This is a rare opportunity to influence cutting-edge AI research without leaving your home lab.

Why Join Us

  • Work on some of the most intellectually stimulating AI research projects in the world.
  • Fully remote and flexible — work on your schedule, at your own pace.
  • Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and collaboration with a global team of experts.
  • Contribute to meaningful work that shapes how AI handles real scientific knowledge.
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension.

Responsibilities

  • Design Challenging Problems — Craft advanced biochemistry problems spanning nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, enzyme kinetics, and drug-target interactions to rigorously test AI performance.
  • Author Gold-Standard Solutions — Develop precise, step-by-step technical solutions and benchmark responses that guide AI reasoning on high-level scientific tasks.
  • Audit AI Outputs — Evaluate AI-generated biochemical pathways, molecular structures, and mathematical proofs for scientific accuracy and adherence to established standards.
  • Refine AI Reasoning — Identify and document logical errors in AI responses — such as incorrect stoichiometry or flawed stereochemical reasoning — and provide structured feedback to improve model performance.

Required skills

  • Domain Expertise: Strong foundational knowledge in structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, bioinformatics, or related areas.
  • Clear Communicator: Able to articulate complex biological and chemical concepts precisely and concisely in written form.
  • Detail-Oriented: High level of precision when reviewing chemical equations, molecular diagrams, and experimental protocols.

Preferred skills

  • Prior experience with data annotation, quality evaluation, or scientific peer review.
  • Familiarity with computational biochemistry tools such as PyMOL, AlphaFold, or BLAST.
  • Background in bioinformatics or cheminformatics.

Experience and education

  • Advanced Degree: PhD (completed or in final stages) in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related discipline.
  • No prior AI experience required — we'll onboard you fully.
