Biology Researcher (Masters/PhDs)
About this role
About the Role What if your years of biology training could directly shape how AI reasons about genetics, biotechnology, and the life sciences — influencing the tools that millions of researchers, clinicians, and students will rely on? We're looking for Biology experts with advanced degrees to help build and evaluate cutting-edge AI models. You'll bring the deep scientific knowledge that AI needs to get biology right — designing complex problems, stress-testing AI reasoning, and ensuring scientific accuracy at the frontier of artificial intelligence. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No prior AI experience needed — just a strong biology background and a sharp, analytical mind. - Organization: Alignerr - Type: Hourly Contract - Location: Remote - Commitment: 10–40 hours/week What You'll Do - Develop, solve, and critically review advanced biology problems with real-world scientific relevance - Apply your expertise in genetics, biotechnology, bioinformatics, or related disciplines to design complex, rigorous problem statements - Evaluate AI-generated biological reasoning for accuracy, depth, and scientific integrity - Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and fellow domain experts to sharpen AI model performance - Ensure clarity, scientific rigor, and precision across all your contributions - Work independently on task-based assignments — fully on your own schedule Who You Are - Hold a Master's or PhD in Biology or a closely related field (Genetics, Molecular Biology, Bioinformatics, Biotechnology, etc.) - Deeply knowledgeable in one or more of: genetics, biotechnology, or bioinformatics - Comfortable working with Python or R for research or data analysis - An exceptional communicator — clear, precise, and thorough in both written and verbal form - Detail-oriented and methodical, with strong scientific judgment - Fluent in English Nice to Have - Prior experience with data annotation, data quality review, or evaluation systems - Familiarity with AI tools or machine learning concepts as an end user - Background spanning multiple biology subdisciplines - Experience reviewing or peer-evaluating scientific work Why Join Us - Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs and AI teams - Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you - Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based work - Make a direct, tangible impact on how AI understands and reasons about the life sciences - Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
