Biochemistry Subject Matter Expert - AI Content Specialist
About this role
About the Role We're looking for PhD-level Biochemists to help evaluate and improve the scientific reasoning of cutting-edge AI systems. Your expertise will directly shape how AI understands and communicates complex topics — from protein folding to metabolic flux — making a real impact on the future of AI in life sciences. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No AI experience required. - Organization: Alignerr - Type: Hourly Contract - Location: Remote - Commitment: 10–40 hours/week What You'll Do - Design Expert-Level Problems — Create advanced biochemistry challenges across domains like nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, enzyme kinetics, and drug-target interactions to rigorously test AI performance - Author Gold-Standard Solutions — Write precise, step-by-step technical responses that serve as benchmarks for high-level scientific reasoning in AI models - Audit AI Outputs — Evaluate AI-generated biochemical pathways, molecular structures, and mathematical proofs for scientific accuracy, logical consistency, and safety - Sharpen AI Reasoning — Identify and document failure modes such as incorrect stoichiometry, flawed stereochemistry, or misunderstood metabolic logic, then provide structured feedback to drive model improvement Who You Are - Holds a PhD (completed or in final stages) in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related discipline - Deep domain knowledge in one or more areas: structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, bioinformatics, or molecular genetics - Able to translate highly technical concepts into clear, precise written explanations - Exceptionally detail-oriented when reviewing complex chemical equations, molecular diagrams, or experimental protocols - Self-motivated and comfortable working independently and asynchronously - No prior AI or data annotation experience required Nice to Have - 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 or technical communication Why Join Us - Work on high-impact AI projects in partnership with leading AI research labs - Fully remote and flexible — structure your work around your schedule - Contribute to meaningful work that advances AI accuracy in scientific domains - Gain firsthand exposure to how large language models are trained and evaluated - Freelance autonomy with the potential for ongoing contract extension
