Biochemist

Biochemist – AI Data Trainer
About The Role
Your deep expertise in biochemistry is more valuable than ever — not just in the lab, but in shaping how the next generation of AI understands life science. At Alignerr, we partner with the world's leading AI research teams to build and refine cutting-edge models. We're looking for PhD-level Biochemists to challenge, evaluate, and improve AI reasoning across complex scientific domains.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role where your scientific knowledge directly influences how AI thinks about protein folding, metabolic flux, enzyme kinetics, and more.
Organization: Alignerr
Type: Hourly Contract
Location: Remote
Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
Design Advanced Problems — Craft challenging biochemistry questions across domains like nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, structural biology, and drug-target interactions to rigorously stress-test AI performance.
Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Develop precise, step-by-step technical responses that serve as gold-standard benchmarks for AI scientific reasoning.
Audit AI Outputs — Evaluate AI-generated biochemical pathways, molecular structures, and mathematical proofs for technical accuracy, safety, and adherence to established scientific standards.
Refine AI Reasoning — Identify logical errors — such as incorrect stoichiometry, misapplied stereochemistry, or flawed metabolic logic — and provide structured feedback that directly improves how models approach life science problems.
Who You Are
PhD-level expertise in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related field (completed or in final stages)
Strong domain knowledge in areas such as structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, bioinformatics, or molecular genetics
Clear scientific communicator — able to translate highly technical concepts into well-structured written explanations
Detail-oriented — precise and methodical when reviewing complex equations, molecular diagrams, and experimental logic
Self-motivated — comfortable working independently and asynchronously on your own schedule
No prior AI or machine learning 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 scientific writing, peer review, or technical editing
