Biology Expert or Specialist

Biology Expert or Specialist (AI Training)

About The Role

What if your years of biology training could directly shape how AI understands and reasons about life sciences --- from cellular mechanisms to complex biochemical pathways? We're looking for biology experts to help evaluate and improve cutting-edge AI models, ensuring they think with the rigor and precision that real science demands.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for researchers and academics. No AI background needed --- just deep domain knowledge and a sharp eye for scientific reasoning.

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

What You'll Do

• Design advanced biology problems and questions to rigorously test AI performance across undergraduate to PhD-level topics
• Develop clear, step-by-step solutions with precise, well-structured scientific reasoning
• Evaluate AI-generated outputs for factual accuracy, logical soundness, and quality of biological reasoning
• Collaborate with researchers to refine benchmarks and improve how AI models handle complex scientific concepts
• Work independently and asynchronously --- fully on your own schedule

Who You Are

• Pursuing or holding a PhD in Biology, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, or a closely related field
• Strong scientific reasoning skills across advanced biology domains
• Able to communicate complex ideas clearly and provide structured, actionable feedback in writing
• Detail-oriented and methodical --- you notice when reasoning doesn't hold up
• No prior AI or tech experience required

Nice to Have

• Experience with data annotation, data quality, or evaluation workflows
• Background in research, academic writing, or peer review
• Familiarity with AI tools or language models as an end user
• Expertise spanning multiple biology subdisciplines --- molecular biology, genetics, physiology, ecology, or beyond

Why Join Us

• Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs
• Fully remote and flexible --- work when and where it suits you
• Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based work
• Direct exposure to how large language models are trained and evaluated at the frontier
• Contribute to AI development that shapes how science is understood by technology
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
