About the role

Biology Researcher (Masters/PhDs) - AI Training
About The Role
What if your years of biology training could directly shape how AI reasons about genetics, biotechnology, and the life sciences — influencing the tools that millions of researchers, clinicians, and students will rely on?
We're looking for Biology experts with advanced degrees to help build and evaluate cutting-edge AI models. You'll bring the deep scientific knowledge that AI needs to get biology right — designing complex problems, stress-testing AI reasoning, and ensuring scientific accuracy at the frontier of artificial intelligence.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No prior AI experience needed — just a strong biology background and a sharp, analytical mind.
  • Organization: Alignerr
  • Type: Hourly Contract
  • Location: Remote
  • Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do
  • Develop, solve, and critically review advanced biology problems with real-world scientific relevance
  • Apply your expertise in genetics, biotechnology, bioinformatics, or related disciplines to design complex, rigorous problem statements
  • Evaluate AI-generated biological reasoning for accuracy, depth, and scientific integrity
  • Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and fellow domain experts to sharpen AI model performance
  • Ensure clarity, scientific rigor, and precision across all your contributions
  • Work independently on task-based assignments — fully on your own schedule

Who You Are
  • Hold a Master's or PhD in Biology or a closely related field (Genetics, Molecular Biology, Bioinformatics, Biotechnology, etc.)
  • Deeply knowledgeable in one or more of: genetics, biotechnology, or bioinformatics
  • Comfortable working with Python or R for research or data analysis
  • An exceptional communicator — clear, precise, and thorough in both written and verbal form
  • Detail-oriented and methodical, with strong scientific judgment
  • Fluent in English

Nice to Have
  • Prior experience with data annotation, data quality review, or evaluation systems
  • Familiarity with AI tools or machine learning concepts as an end user
  • Background spanning multiple biology subdisciplines
  • Experience reviewing or peer-evaluating scientific work

Why Join Us
  • Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs and AI teams
  • Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
  • Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based work
  • Make a direct, tangible impact on how AI understands and reasons about the life sciences
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
