Biochemistry Subject Matter Expert - AI Content Specialist
up to $70/hr
About this role, in Alignerr's words
We're looking for PhD-level Biochemists to help train and refine cutting-edge AI models on advanced life science topics. Your deep domain expertise will directly shape how AI understands and reasons through complex biochemical concepts — from protein folding to metabolic flux analysis.
What you'll do
- Design Advanced Problems — Craft challenging biochemistry questions across domains like nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, enzyme kinetics, and drug-target interactions to rigorously test AI performance
- Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Develop precise, step-by-step scientific responses that serve as benchmarks for high-level AI reasoning in the life sciences
- Audit AI Outputs — Evaluate AI-generated biochemical pathways, molecular structures, and mathematical proofs for technical accuracy and adherence to scientific standards
Show all 5 itemsHide the other 2 in What you'll do
- Refine AI Reasoning — Identify logical errors such as incorrect stoichiometry or misapplied stereochemistry, and provide structured feedback to improve the model's scientific thinking
- Work Independently — Complete tasks asynchronously on your own schedule with full remote flexibility
Candidate background
Who You Are
- Holds a PhD (completed or in final stages) in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related field
- Strong foundational expertise in areas such as structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, or bioinformatics
- Able to communicate complex biological and chemical concepts clearly and precisely in writing
- High attention to detail when reviewing chemical equations, molecular diagrams, and experimental protocols
- Self-motivated and comfortable working independently
- No prior AI experience required
