Biology Researcher (Masters/PhDs)
Alignerr
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.
