Biology Expert (Masters/PhDs)

Biology Expert (Masters/PhDs) $75-90/hr Remote Freelance STEM 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 Alignerr
