About AI Training Work

AI training is the human side of building artificial intelligence. Specialists prepare, review, and evaluate examples so AI systems can produce more accurate and useful results. In this role, your scientific judgment will help models better understand computational biology, medicinal chemistry, and related research challenges.

• Work remotely with a flexible contractor schedule
• Contribute expert feedback to cutting-edge AI systems
• Apply advanced scientific knowledge to practical data and evaluation tasks

The Computational Biology Expert Role

OpenTrain is seeking a Computational Biology Expert to provide high-quality scientific input for AI training. You will analyze and annotate complex biological datasets, review scientific material for accuracy and clarity, and contribute domain insights that improve model performance in computational biology and medicinal chemistry contexts.

The work also includes developing and reviewing problem sets, case studies, and scenarios grounded in real-world chemistry challenges. You will collaborate asynchronously with other experts to validate findings and refine data curation methods.

• Employment type: Part-time contractor
• Time requirement: 20+ hours per week
• Work location: Worldwide and fully remote
• Language: English
• Pay: $90-$120 per hour

What You'll Do

• Analyze and annotate complex biological datasets for medicinal chemistry applications
• Provide feedback and domain-specific insights that improve AI models
• Evaluate scientific content for accuracy, relevance, and clarity
• Develop and review problem sets, case studies, and scenarios based on real-world challenges
• Collaborate asynchronously with other experts to validate findings and share perspectives
• Help refine data curation methodologies and best practices in computational biology

Requirements

This role is listed as entry level, but it requires advanced academic training and demonstrated subject-matter expertise. Applicants should be able to explain complex scientific concepts clearly in writing and apply computational approaches to chemistry or biology problems.

• Advanced degree such as a PhD, PharmD, or MSc in computational biology, medicinal chemistry, bioinformatics, or a closely related field
• Demonstrated expertise in medicinal chemistry, drug discovery, or drug design
• Strong analytical skills and familiarity with biological datasets and scientific literature
• Experience applying computational methods to chemistry or biology problems
• Experience annotating biological datasets or evaluating scientific content for accuracy
• Proficiency with relevant bioinformatics tools, cheminformatics platforms, or data analysis software
• Excellent written communication skills for explaining complex scientific concepts clearly

Why This Work Matters

Every major AI system depends on carefully prepared and reviewed human examples. By evaluating scientific content and curating biological data, you will help shape how AI handles advanced research questions in computational biology and medicinal chemistry.

• Work at the intersection of scientific expertise and rapidly developing AI technology
• Use your background in biology, chemistry, or bioinformatics on meaningful model-improvement tasks
• Build experience in a growing field that supports flexible remote work
