Summary: The Biochemist – AI Data Trainer role at Alignerr requires a PhD-level biochemist to design and evaluate complex biochemical challenges for AI models. This fully remote position involves crafting solutions, auditing AI outputs, and refining AI reasoning based on rigorous scientific principles. Candidates should possess strong domain expertise in biochemistry and excellent scientific writing skills, with no prior AI experience necessary. The role offers flexible hours and the opportunity to contribute to impactful AI projects in life sciences.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design Advanced Problems — Craft complex, domain-specific biochemistry challenges across areas like nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, structural biology, and drug-target interactions to rigorously test AI performance.
- Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Develop detailed, step-by-step technical solutions and "golden responses" that serve as benchmarks for high-level scientific reasoning in AI models.
- Audit AI Outputs — Evaluate AI-generated biochemical pathways, molecular structures, reaction mechanisms, and mathematical proofs for technical accuracy and scientific validity.
- Refine AI Reasoning — Identify and document logical errors and provide structured feedback to improve model performance.
Key Skills:
- PhD (completed or in final stages) in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related discipline.
- Strong foundational knowledge in one or more core areas such as structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, genomics, or bioinformatics.
- Able to communicate highly technical biochemical and chemical concepts clearly, concisely, and with precision in written form.
- High level of accuracy when reviewing complex chemical equations, molecular diagrams, metabolic pathways, and experimental protocols.
- Experience with data annotation, data quality assurance, or evaluation workflows (nice to have).
- Familiarity with computational biochemistry tools such as PyMOL, AlphaFold, BLAST, or similar platforms (nice to have).
- Background in scientific peer review, technical writing, or research mentorship (nice to have).
