Biology Researcher (Masters/PhDs)

Biology Expert (AI Training)About The Role What if your years of graduate-level biology training could directly shape how AI reasons through the most complex problems in genetics, biotechnology, and bioinformatics? We're looking for Biology Experts to help build and refine cutting-edge AI models — designing advanced problems, evaluating scientific reasoning, and ensuring AI gets the biology right. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for researchers and scientists who want to contribute to something beyond the lab. No prior AI experience needed — just deep domain expertise and a sharp scientific mind.

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

What You'll Do

• Develop, solve, and review advanced biology problems with real-world scientific relevance
• Apply your expertise in genetics, biotechnology, bioinformatics, or related fields to design challenging, nuanced problem statements
• Evaluate AI-generated biological reasoning for scientific accuracy, depth, and clarity
• Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and fellow domain experts to enhance model performance
• Ensure all deliverables meet rigorous standards of scientific rigor and precision
• Work independently on task-based assignments — fully on your own schedule

Who You Are

• Master's or PhD in Biology or a closely related field (Genetics, Molecular Biology, Bioinformatics, Biotechnology, etc.)
• Deep expertise in one or more of: genetics, molecular biology, biotechnology, or bioinformatics
• Comfortable working with Python or R for research or data analysis
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills — you can explain complex science clearly
• Detail-oriented and methodical, with a strong commitment to scientific accuracy
• Fluent in English

Nice to Have

• Prior experience with data annotation, data quality assessment, or evaluation systems
• Background in AI, machine learning, or computational biology
• Experience writing or reviewing scientific literature, grant proposals, or technical documentation
• Familiarity with bioinformatics pipelines, genomics tools, or wet lab methodologies

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
• Put your advanced degree to work on problems that matter — at the frontier of AI and life science
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
