Biochemist

About The Role

Your deep expertise in biochemistry is exactly what the next generation of AI needs. At Alignerr, we partner with the world's leading AI research labs to train and refine cutting-edge models — and we're looking for PhD-level Biochemists to help us do it.

Biochemist – AI Data Trainer

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

• Design Advanced Problems — Craft challenging biochemistry problems across domains like protein folding, nucleic acid chemistry, metabolic flux analysis, proteomics, and drug‑target interactions to probe AI performance at the frontier of scientific reasoning.
• Author Gold‑Standard Solutions — Write rigorous, step‑by‑step technical responses that serve as benchmarks for AI models tackling high‑level scientific questions.
• Audit AI Outputs — Evaluate AI‑generated biochemical pathways, molecular structures, enzyme mechanisms, and mathematical proofs for technical accuracy and scientific integrity.
• Refine AI Reasoning — Identify logical failures (incorrect stoichiometry, stereochemical errors, flawed mechanistic reasoning) and provide structured feedback that directly improves how AI models think through life science problems.

• PhD‑level expertise — Completed or near‑completed doctorate in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related field.
• Deep domain knowledge — Strong foundational understanding in one or more areas: structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, molecular genetics, or bioinformatics.
• Clear scientific communicator — Able to translate complex biochemical and chemical concepts into precise, well‑structured written explanations.
• Detail‑oriented — High level of precision when working with chemical equations, molecular diagrams, reaction mechanisms, and experimental data.
• No AI experience required — We'll provide what you need to get started.

• Experience with data annotation, quality evaluation, or academic peer review.
• Familiarity with computational biochemistry tools such as PyMOL, Alpha Fold, or BLAST.
• Background in scientific writing, grant authorship, or technical documentation.

• Work on genuinely cutting‑edge AI projects alongside world‑class research teams.
• Fully remote and asynchronous — work on your own schedule, from anywhere.
• Make a meaningful contribution to how AI understands and reasons about science.
• Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration.
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension.
