Biochemistry Subject Matter Expert - AI Content Specialist
Summary: The Biochemistry Subject Matter Expert will collaborate with leading AI research teams to enhance AI models through their expertise in biochemistry. This role involves designing complex biochemistry challenges, authoring solutions, auditing AI outputs, and refining AI reasoning. The position is fully remote, allowing for flexible hours between 10 to 40 hours per week. Candidates should possess a PhD in a relevant field and have strong communication skills in biochemistry concepts.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design Advanced Problems — Craft complex, domain-specific biochemistry challenges across areas like nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, structural biology, and drug-target interactions to rigorously test AI performance
- Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Write precise, step-by-step technical solutions that serve as benchmarks for high-level scientific reasoning in AI systems
- Audit AI Outputs — Evaluate AI-generated biochemical pathways, molecular structures, and mathematical derivations for scientific accuracy, logical consistency, and adherence to established standards
- Refine AI Reasoning — Identify and document failure modes such as incorrect stoichiometry, flawed stereochemical reasoning, or misapplied kinetic models, and provide structured feedback to improve model performance
Key Skills:
- Holds a PhD (completed or in final stages) in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related field
- Strong foundational expertise in one or more core areas: structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, bioinformatics, or molecular genetics
- Able to communicate complex biochemical and chemical concepts clearly and precisely in written form
- Highly detail-oriented when reviewing chemical equations, molecular diagrams, and experimental protocols
- Self-directed and comfortable working independently on an asynchronous schedule
- No prior AI experience required
- Experience with data annotation, quality evaluation, or scientific peer review (nice to have)
- Familiarity with computational biochemistry tools such as PyMOL, AlphaFold, or BLAST (nice to have)
- Background in scientific writing, curriculum development, or technical editing (nice to have)
