Biochemist

Biochemist – AI Data Trainer

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 teams to build smarter, more scientifically rigorous AI models — and we need PhD-level biochemists to help make that happen.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role where you'll challenge and refine advanced AI language models on complex topics like protein folding, metabolic flux analysis, enzyme kinetics, and molecular genetics. Your scientific instincts will directly shape how AI reasons through life science problems.

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

What You'll Do

• Design Challenging Problems — Craft advanced biochemistry scenarios across domains like nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, and drug-target interactions to stress-test AI reasoning.
• Author Gold-Standard Solutions — Write rigorous, step-by-step technical responses that serve as benchmarks for high-level scientific accuracy.
• Audit AI Outputs — Evaluate AI-generated biochemical pathways, molecular structures, and mathematical reasoning for scientific correctness and adherence to established standards.
• Sharpen AI Reasoning — Identify logical errors such as incorrect stoichiometry or misapplied stereochemistry, and provide structured feedback that improves how AI models think through life science tasks.

Who You Are

• PhD-level expertise — Completed or near-completion PhD in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related field.
• Strong domain knowledge — Deep familiarity with at least one of: structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, or bioinformatics.
• Clear scientific communicator — Able to explain complex biological and chemical concepts with precision and clarity in writing.
• Detail-oriented — High degree of accuracy when reviewing chemical equations, molecular diagrams, and experimental protocols.
• No AI experience required — We'll onboard you on everything you need to know.

Nice to Have

• Experience with data annotation, evaluation systems, or quality assurance workflows
• Familiarity with computational biochemistry tools such as PyMOL, AlphaFold, or BLAST
