Bioinformatics Scientist (Medicinal Chemistry)

• $45–$90 per hour

• 100% remote

• Part-time

• Flexible schedule

Review AI-generated drug discovery science and curate scientific datasets on your own schedule, explaining where the AI needs correction.

OpenTrain AI is hiring for this role.

AI companies need bioinformatics scientists to test and correct their systems on real drug discovery work. This project needs people who can analyze medicinal chemistry datasets, curate and check data on molecules and drug candidates, and review AI answers for scientific accuracy. You also write scientific content and recommend fixes where the AI gets the science wrong. This is that work, done remotely around your schedule.

What you'll do

• Analyze medicinal chemistry datasets using bioinformatics methods

• Prepare datasets for molecular analysis and drug discovery projects by curating, annotating and validating the entries

• Judge whether the AI's answers are reliable, relevant and scientifically accurate

• Evaluate and combine biological, chemical, and clinical findings, then recommend improvements using experimental design and data interpretation

Why this is worth your time

• Get paid $45–$90 an hour

• Use your bioinformatics and medicinal chemistry knowledge on real dataset curation and scientific review

• Write scientific content and recommend improvements based on your own data interpretation and judgment

• Fully remote and flexible, no fixed shifts, no commute

Who this is for

• An advanced degree (MSc, PhD or similar) focused on medicinal chemistry, bioinformatics, computational biology or a closely related discipline

• Experience working with omics or cheminformatics datasets at large scale and interpreting what they show, plus working knowledge of medicinal chemistry, including structure-activity relationships and the principles of drug design

• Fluent English, and some hands-on use of bioinformatics tools or databases, or of KNIME, RDKit, R or Python

• Explain complex scientific concepts accurately in written work and technical discussions.

• Experience working with multidisciplinary or remote project teams.

• No AI experience needed.

Pay and details

• $45–$90 per hour, paid hourly as an independent contractor.

• Part-time, flexible schedule; fully remote, worldwide (52 countries)
