Biology Expert (Masters/PhDs)
About this role
About the Role What if your years of biology training — the late nights in the lab, the deep dives into genetics and molecular mechanisms, the hard-won expertise — could directly shape how AI reasons about life science for millions of people? We're looking for Biology Masters and PhD holders to help build and refine cutting-edge AI models. You'll design and solve advanced biology problems, pressure-test AI reasoning against real scientific standards, and ensure that the next generation of AI thinks rigorously about the life sciences. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for scientists who want to do meaningful, intellectually engaging work — on their own schedule. - 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 deep expertise in genetics, biotechnology, bioinformatics, or related disciplines to design challenging problem statements - Evaluate AI-generated responses for scientific accuracy, rigor, and clarity - Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and other domain experts to enhance AI model reasoning - Ensure depth, precision, and scientific integrity across all deliverables - 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.) - Possess deep, demonstrable expertise in at least one of: genetics, biotechnology, or bioinformatics - Comfortable coding in Python or R for research or data analysis purposes - Exceptionally clear communicator — both in written explanations and scientific reasoning - Detail-oriented and methodical, with high standards for accuracy and rigor - Fluent in English and currently based in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, or New Zealand Nice to Have - Prior experience with data annotation, data quality review, or AI evaluation workflows - Background in computational biology, systems biology, or genomics - Experience writing or reviewing scientific literature, grant applications, or technical documentation - Familiarity with AI tools or large language model outputs as an end user 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 scientific work - Put your advanced degree to work on problems that matter — shaping how AI understands biology - Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
