Freelance Remote Biology Research Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Specialised Part-Time Consulting Opportunity for Biology Research ProfessionalsWe are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for biology research professionals experienced in bioactivity data review, protein target validation, primary literature analysis, assay interpretation, UniProt workflows, and evidence-based scientific annotation.This role supports current and upcoming remote consulting opportunities focused on bioactivity database review, protein target assignment verification, scientific literature analysis, structured error classification, and high-quality project execution. Selected professionals will apply their biology, pharmacology, biochemistry, or chemical biology expertise to verify whether protein target assignments accurately reflect the underlying scientific sources and provide concise, evidence-grounded review notes.Key ResponsibilitiesProfessionals in this role may contribute to:Protein Target Assignment ReviewReview protein target assignments in large-scale bioactivity database workflowsCompare assigned UniProt IDs against primary scientific sources, including papers, patents, and related research materialsDetermine whether target assignments accurately reflect the proteins being studiedPropose corrected UniProt accessions when assignments require revisionScientific Literature & Bioactivity Data EvaluationRead and interpret primary literature involving binding assays, functional assays, biochemical profiling, target validation, or drug discovery workflowsEvaluate target, assay, and compound-related context using scientific judgment and domain knowledgeReview bioactivity records involving databases such as ChEMBL, BindingDB, PubChem, or adjacent data sourcesIdentify inconsistencies, unclear mappings, or evidence gaps in protein target assignmentsStructured Annotation & Evidence-Based FeedbackFlag and classify target assignment errors using a structured taxonomyWrite concise, evidence-grounded notes explaining review decisions and scientific reasoningApply consistent annotation standards across database records and supporting source materialsMaintain accuracy, clarity, and professional judgment across submitted review workIdeal ProfileStrong candidates may have:BA/BS with 5+ years, MS with 2+ years, or PhD-level experience in a relevant biology, pharmacology, biochemistry, molecular biology, chemical biology, or drug discovery research fieldExperience in biotech, pharma, CRO, academic research, or applied life-science research environmentsHands-on experience with binding assays or functional assays such as SPR, TR-FRET, radioligand binding, kinase assays, GPCR functional assays, IC50, Ki, or KD analysisCurrent or recent bench-active experience in a research scientist, associate scientist, or related scientific roleWorking fluency with UniProt or adjacent workflows such as SAR support, HTS, target validation, biochemical profiling, or IND-enabling studiesStrong ability to read scientific literature and make careful, evidence-based judgmentsAbility to work independently in a remote, project-based environmentEducational BackgroundA BA/BS, MS, or PhD in biology, pharmacology, biochemistry, molecular biology, chemical biology, or a closely related life-science field is relevantPractical experience in biotech, pharma, CRO, drug discovery, assay development, target validation, or biochemical profiling is highly valuableEquivalent applied research experience involving protein targets, bioactivity data, assay interpretation, or scientific annotation may also be consideredNice to HaveDirect experience with ChEMBL, BindingDB, PubChem, UniProt, or related scientific databasesExperience with selectivity profiling, counterscreening, biochemical assays, or functional assaysFamiliarity with agonist/antagonist and activator/inhibitor distinctionsExperience supporting SAR workflows, HTS campaigns, target validation, biochemical profiling, or IND-enabling studiesAbility to commit approximately 10–20 hours per week depending on project availability and scopeWhy This OpportunityApply biology research expertise to structured remote scientific review workContribute to high-quality bioactivity data review, protein target validation, and scientific annotation workflowsWork on flexible assignments aligned with your research background and assay interpretation experienceUse your scientific judgment to improve accuracy across complex life-science data workflowsRemote structure with competitive hourly compensationContract DetailsIndependent contractor roleFully remote with flexible schedulingEligible professionals should be based in the United States depending on project needsExpected part-time commitment of approximately 10–20 hours per week depending on project availabilityExpected minimum engagement of approximately 1–2 months, with potential extension depending on scope and performanceCompetitive rates between $40–$60 per hour depending on expertise and project scopeWeekly payments via Stripe or WiseProjects may be extended, shortened, or adjusted depending on scope and performanceWork will not involve access to confidential or proprietary information from any employer, client, or institutionAbout the PlatformThis opportunity is available through 24-MAG LLC.
