What this actually is

You bring your specialist expertise to AI evaluation. The shape of the work varies but the pattern is the same: review outputs, rate quality, write prompts, flag errors. The platform title (Drug Discovery Specialist - Freelance AI Trainer Project) reflects the rate band and the expertise required, not the day-to-day work.

Original posting from Meridial

Work location: Remote, listed for Philippines

Pay: $65 an hour, as the posting states it.

Are you a drug discovery expert eager to shape the future of AI? Large‑scale language models are evolving from clever chatbots into powerful engines of scientific discovery. With high‑quality training data, tomorrow’s AI can democratize world‑class education, keep pace with cutting‑edge research, and streamline lab work for scientists everywhere. That training data begins with you-we need your expertise to help power the next generation of AI.

We’re looking for drug discovery specialists who live and breathe medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, high-throughput screening, target validation, ADMET profiling, lead optimization, molecular modeling, structure-based drug design, and translational research. You’ll challenge advanced language models on topics like ligand-receptor interactions, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, in silico docking studies, assay development, chemical libraries, biomarker identification, and preclinical candidate evaluation-documenting every failure mode so we can harden model reasoning.

On a typical day, you will converse with the model on compound screening strategies and theoretical drug design questions, verify factual accuracy and logical soundness, capture reproducible error traces, and suggest improvements to our prompt engineering and evaluation metrics.

A PhD in pharmaceutical sciences, chemistry, pharmacology, or a closely related life‑science field is ideal; peer‑reviewed publications, lab-based discovery research, or applied computational chemistry projects signal fit. Clear, metacognitive communication-“showing your work”-is essential.

Ready to turn your drug discovery expertise into the knowledge base for tomorrow’s AI? Apply today and start teaching the model that will teach the world.

We offer a pay range of $8‑to‑$65 per hour, with the exact rate determined after evaluating your experience, expertise, and geographic location. Final offer amounts may vary from the pay range listed above. As a contractor you’ll supply a secure computer and high‑speed internet; company‑sponsored benefits such as health insurance and PTO do not apply.
