Biology Researcher; Masters​/PhDs

What if your years of biology training could directly shape how AI reasons through the most complex problems in genetics, biotechnology, and bioinformatics? We're looking for biology experts — Masters and PhD holders — to help build and refine cutting-edge AI models by designing and solving advanced scientific problems that push the boundaries of what AI can understand.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for scientists who want meaningful, intellectually stimulating work on their own schedule. No prior AI experience needed — just deep domain expertise and a passion for rigorous science.

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

• Develop, solve, and critically review advanced biology problems with real-world scientific relevance
• Apply your expertise in genetics, biotechnology, bioinformatics, or related fields to design challenging, nuanced problem statements
• Evaluate AI-generated scientific reasoning and outputs for accuracy, depth, and rigor
• Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and fellow domain experts to enhance model performance
• Ensure scientific clarity, precision, and depth across all deliverables
• Work independently on task-based assignments — fully on your own schedule

• Hold a Master's or PhD in Biology, Genetics, Molecular Biology, Bioinformatics, or a closely related field
• Deeply knowledgeable in at least one of: genetics, biotechnology, or bioinformatics
• Comfortable coding in Python or R for research or analytical purposes
• Exceptionally clear and precise in written communication — you can explain complex science without losing the detail
• Detail-oriented and methodical — you hold your work to a high standard
• Fluent in English

• Prior experience with data annotation, data quality review, or evaluation systems
• Familiarity with AI tools, language models, or scientific benchmarking
• Background spanning multiple biology sub-disciplines
• Experience writing for scientific publication, grant applications, or technical documentation

• 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 expertise to use in a way that shapes how AI understands biology at a fundamental level
• Contribute to technology that will influence scientific research and discovery for years to come
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
