Biochemist - #189948

Biochemist – AI Data Trainer

About The Role

Your biochemistry expertise is more valuable than ever — not just in the lab, but in shaping the next generation of AI. Alignerr partners with the world's leading AI research teams to build and refine cutting-edge models, and we need PhD-level Biochemists to help us get the science right.

In this fully remote contract role, you'll put your deep knowledge of protein folding, metabolic flux, enzyme kinetics, and molecular genetics to work — challenging AI systems, exposing their weaknesses, and helping them reason better about life sciences. No AI background required. Just rigorous scientific thinking and a passion for precision.

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

What You'll Do

• Design Complex Problems — Develop advanced biochemistry challenges across domains like nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, and drug-target interactions to rigorously test AI performance.
• Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Write detailed, step-by-step technical solutions and "golden responses" that serve as scientific benchmarks for high-level AI reasoning.
• Audit AI Outputs — Evaluate AI-generated biochemical pathways, molecular structures, and mathematical proofs for accuracy, safety, and adherence to scientific standards.
• Refine AI Reasoning — Identify logical errors — such as incorrect stoichiometry, flawed stereochemistry, or misapplied enzymatic principles — and provide structured feedback to improve how models think through life science problems.
  
  

Who You Are

• Advanced Degree: PhD (completed or in final stages) in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related field.
• Deep Domain Knowledge: Strong foundational expertise in areas such as structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, or bioinformatics.
• Scientific Writer: Able to communicate complex biological and chemical concepts clearly, concisely, and accurately in written form.
• Detail-Oriented: High precision when reviewing chemical equations, molecular diagrams, reaction mechanisms, and experimental protocols.
• No AI experience required — we'll guide you through everything you need to know.
  
  

Nice to Have

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