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 models — and we need PhD-level biochemists to make it happen.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role where your scientific knowledge directly shapes how AI reasons about protein folding, metabolic flux, enzyme kinetics, and beyond. No AI background required — just deep domain expertise and a sharp analytical mind.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Design Challenging Problems — Craft advanced biochemistry problems spanning nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, structural biology, and drug-target interactions to rigorously test AI performance
- Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Develop precise, step-by-step technical solutions that serve as benchmarks for high-level scientific reasoning in AI systems
- Audit AI Outputs — Evaluate AI-generated biochemical pathways, molecular structures, and mathematical reasoning for technical accuracy and adherence to scientific standards
- Identify and Fix Reasoning Errors — Spot logical flaws like incorrect stoichiometry, misapplied stereochemistry, or flawed mechanistic reasoning, and provide structured feedback to improve AI thinking
Who You Are
- PhD-level expertise in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related field (completed or in final stages)
- Strong foundational knowledge in areas such as structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, or bioinformatics
- Ability to communicate highly technical concepts clearly and concisely in written form
- High attention to detail when reviewing chemical equations, molecular diagrams, and experimental logic
- No prior AI experience required — we'll provide everything you need to get started
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
