Biochemistry Subject Matter Expert - AI Content Specialist

About the Role

We're looking for PhD-level Biochemists to help evaluate and improve the scientific reasoning of cutting-edge AI systems. Your expertise will directly shape how AI understands and communicates complex topics — from protein folding to metabolic flux — making a real impact on the future of AI in life sciences.

What You'll Do

• Design Expert-Level Problems — Create advanced biochemistry challenges across domains like nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, enzyme kinetics, and drug-target interactions to rigorously test AI performance
• Author Gold-Standard Solutions — Write precise, step-by-step technical responses that serve as benchmarks for high-level scientific reasoning in AI models
• Audit AI Outputs — Evaluate AI-generated biochemical pathways, molecular structures, and mathematical proofs for scientific accuracy, logical consistency, and safety
• Sharpen AI Reasoning — Identify and document failure modes such as incorrect stoichiometry, flawed stereochemistry, or misunderstood metabolic logic, then provide structured feedback to drive model improvement

Who You Are

• Holds a PhD (completed or in final stages) in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related discipline
• Deep domain knowledge in one or more areas: structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, bioinformatics, or molecular genetics
• Able to translate highly technical concepts into clear, precise written explanations
• Exceptionally detail-oriented when reviewing complex chemical equations, molecular diagrams, or experimental protocols
• Self-motivated and comfortable working independently and asynchronously

Nice to Have

• Experience with data annotation, quality evaluation, or scientific peer review
• Familiarity with computational biochemistry tools such as PyMOL, AlphaFold, or BLAST
• Background in scientific writing or technical communication

Why Join Us

• Work on high-impact AI projects in partnership with leading AI research labs
• Fully remote and flexible — structure your work around your schedule
• Contribute to meaningful work that advances AI accuracy in scientific domains
• Gain firsthand exposure to how large language models are trained and evaluated
• Freelance autonomy with the potential for ongoing contract extension

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No AI experience required.
