What are the responsibilities and job description for the Biochemistry Subject Matter Expert - AI Content Specialist position at Alignerr?
Biochemistry Subject Matter Expert (AI Training)
About The Role
We're looking for PhD-level Biochemists to help train and improve the next generation of AI systems. Your deep scientific expertise will directly shape how AI reasons through complex biochemistry — from protein folding and enzyme kinetics to metabolic flux and molecular genetics.
This is a rare opportunity to apply your research knowledge outside the lab, work on genuinely challenging problems, and contribute to cutting-edge AI development — all on your own schedule.
