Biochemistry Subject Matter Expert - AI Content Specialist

$35-70/hr Remote Freelance STEM

We're looking for PhD-level biochemists to help train and refine some of the world's most advanced AI models. Your deep scientific knowledge will directly shape how AI reasons about complex biological systems — from protein folding to metabolic pathways — making a real impact on the future of AI in life sciences.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. You set your schedule and work as much or as little as you want, week to week.

• Organization: Alignerr
• Type: Hourly Contract
• Location: Remote
• Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

• Design Challenging Problems — Craft advanced biochemistry questions and scenarios spanning nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, enzyme kinetics, and drug-target interactions to rigorously test AI reasoning.
• Author Gold-Standard Solutions — Write precise, step-by-step technical solutions that serve as benchmarks for high-level scientific reasoning in AI systems.
• Audit AI Outputs — Evaluate AI-generated biochemical pathways, molecular structures, and quantitative analyses for scientific accuracy and adherence to established standards.
• Identify and Correct Reasoning Errors — Spot logical failures such as incorrect stoichiometry, misapplied stereochemistry, or flawed mechanistic reasoning, and provide structured feedback to improve AI performance.
• Work Independently and Asynchronously — Complete tasks on your own schedule with no meetings required.

Who You Are

• PhD (completed or in final stages) in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related discipline
• Strong foundational expertise in one or more of: structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, bioinformatics, or molecular genetics
• Able to communicate complex scientific concepts clearly and precisely in written English
• High attention to detail when working with chemical equations, molecular diagrams, and experimental logic
• Self-motivated and comfortable working independently
• No prior AI experience required

Nice to Have

• Experience with data annotation, evaluation, or quality review workflows
• Familiarity with computational biochemistry tools such as PyMOL, AlphaFold, or BLAST
• Background in scientific writing, peer review, or curriculum development

Why Join Us

• Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside world-leading research labs
• Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule, from anywhere
• Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
• Contribute to meaningful work that improves how AI handles complex scientific reasoning
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
