Biochemistry Subject Matter Expert (AI Training)

About The Role

We're partnering with the world's leading AI research labs to build smarter, more scientifically accurate AI models — and we need expert biochemists to make it happen. Your deep knowledge of biochemical systems will directly shape how AI reasons through complex life science problems, from protein folding to metabolic flux analysis.

This is a rare opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge AI development without leaving your area of expertise. No AI background needed — just rigorous scientific knowledge and the ability to communicate it clearly.

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

What You'll Do

Design Advanced Problems — Craft challenging biochemistry scenarios spanning nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, enzyme kinetics, and drug-target interactions to stress-test AI reasoning Author Gold-Standard Solutions — Develop precise, step-by-step solutions and benchmark responses that AI systems use to calibrate high-level scientific reasoning Audit AI Outputs — Evaluate AI-generated biochemical pathways, molecular structures, and mathematical derivations for technical accuracy and scientific rigor Identify Reasoning Failures — Pinpoint logical errors such as incorrect stoichiometry, stereochemical mistakes, or flawed mechanistic reasoning, and provide structured feedback to improve model performance Work Independently — Manage your own schedule and contribute asynchronously at whatever pace suits you

Who You Are

Hold a PhD (completed or in final stages) in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related discipline Possess strong foundational expertise in areas such as structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, or bioinformatics Able to communicate complex biochemical and chemical concepts clearly and precisely in written form Detail-oriented with a high standard of accuracy when reviewing chemical equations, molecular diagrams, and experimental protocols Self-motivated and comfortable working independently on technical tasks No prior AI experience required

Nice to Have

Experience with data annotation, evaluation, or quality assurance workflows Familiarity with computational biochemistry tools such as PyMOL, AlphaFold, or BLAST Background in science writing, peer review, or technical editing
