Biochemist – AI Data Trainer

At Alignerr, we partner with the world’s leading AI research teams and labs to build and train cutting‑edge AI models.


Organization: Alignerr | Position: Biochemist – AI Data Trainer | Type: Hourly Contract | Compensation: $35–$70 /hour | Location: Remote | Commitment: 10–40 hours/week


About the Job

We are seeking PhD-level Biochemists to challenge and refine advanced language models on topics like protein folding, metabolic flux analysis, molecular genetics, and enzyme kinetics. In this remote contract role, you will document failure modes in AI reasoning to help harden model accuracy for scientific research. Work on high‑impact projects while earning $35+/hour, fully remote, with flexible weekly hours. No prior AI experience is required.


What You’ll Do

  • Develop complex biochemistry problems across domains such as nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, and drug‑target interactions to test AI performance.
  • Author ground‑truth solutions: create rigorous, step‑by‑step technical solutions and golden responses that the AI will use as a benchmark for high‑level scientific reasoning.
  • Technical auditing: evaluate AI-generated biochemical pathways, molecular structures, and mathematical proofs for technical accuracy, safety, and adherence to scientific standards.
  • Refine reasoning: identify logical fallacies in AI reasoning—such as incorrect stoichiometry or misunderstood stereochemistry—and provide structured feedback to help the model improve its thinking process for life science tasks.

Requirements

  • Advanced degree: PhD (completed or in final stages) in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related field.
  • Domain expertise: strong foundational knowledge in core areas such as structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, or bioinformatics.
  • Analytical writing: ability to communicate highly technical biological and chemical concepts clearly and concisely in written form.
  • Attention to detail: high level of precision when checking complex chemical equations, molecular diagrams, and experimental protocols.
  • No AI experience required.

Preferred

  • Prior experience with data annotation, data quality, or evaluation systems.
  • Experience with computational biochemistry tools (e.g., PyMOL, AlphaFold, or BLAST).

Why Join Us

  • Competitive pay and flexible remote work.
  • Collaborate with a team working on cutting‑edge AI projects.
  • Exposure to advanced LLMs and how they’re trained.
  • Freelance perks: autonomy, flexibility, and global collaboration.
  • Potential for contract extension.

Application Process

  • Submit your resume.
  • Complete a short screening.
  • Project matching and onboarding.

PS: Our team reviews applications daily. Please complete your AI interview and application steps to be considered for this opportunity.

Where to Advertise Biotech Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise biotech jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, academic networks and trade channels that reach biotech R&D and bioprocessing talent. The candidate pool spans life scientists, computational biologists, regulatory specialists and biomanufacturing engineers — each with distinct professional networks and job search behaviours. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that biotech professionals expect. Specialist platforms, academic channels and sector-specific communities each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by BiotechnologyJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise biotech roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Biotech Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Biotech Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the genomics, cell therapy and AI-driven drug discovery hiring trends shaping UK biotech careers. Biotechnology is creating jobs at a rate that few other sectors can match. New disciplines are emerging from research labs and entering commercial hiring pipelines, existing roles are fragmenting into deeper specialisms, and the technologies driving it all — from AI-assisted drug discovery to next-generation gene editing — are advancing faster than the workforce can keep pace with. For job seekers, this creates an unusual challenge. In most industries, career planning means navigating a relatively familiar landscape and identifying where your skills fit. In biotech, that landscape is being actively redrawn. The roles generating the most hiring activity in 2028 may look quite different from the ones appearing in job adverts today. That's not a reason to feel overwhelmed — it's a reason to get informed. The candidates who thrive in this market aren't always those with the longest CVs or the most letters after their name. They're the ones who understand where the sector is heading: which disciplines are gaining commercial traction, which technologies are driving employer demand, and how the definition of a "biotech job" is expanding well beyond traditional pharmaceuticals and research roles. This article breaks down what the UK biotech jobs market is likely to look like over the next three years — covering emerging job titles, the technologies reshaping hiring, the skills employers are prioritising right now, and how to position your career ahead of the curve rather than behind it.
