About the Role
What if your years of advanced chemistry training could directly shape how AI reasons through the world's most complex scientific problems? We're looking for chemistry experts — Masters and PhDs — to help build and refine the next generation of AI models by designing and solving rigorous, real-world chemistry challenges.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No AI background needed — just deep chemistry expertise and a commitment to scientific precision.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Develop, solve, and critically review advanced chemistry problems with genuine real-world relevance
- Apply your specialist knowledge in organic, inorganic, physical, or computational chemistry to design complex, well-structured problem statements
- Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and fellow domain experts to improve AI model reasoning in scientific contexts
- Evaluate the scientific accuracy, rigor, and clarity of AI-generated chemistry content
- Ensure all deliverables meet high standards of depth, precision, and scientific integrity
- Work independently on task-based assignments — fully on your own schedule
Who You Are
- Holder of a Master's or PhD in Chemistry or a closely related field
- Deep expertise in one or more areas: organic, inorganic, physical, or computational chemistry
- Comfortable working with Python or computational chemistry software (e.g., Gaussian, VASP)
- Exceptionally detail-oriented — you notice when something is scientifically off and you know how to fix it
- A clear and precise written communicator who can explain complex concepts with accuracy
- Self-motivated and reliable when working independently without supervision
Nice to Have
- Experience with data annotation, data quality review, or AI evaluation workflows
- Background in academic research, publishing, or peer review
- Familiarity with cheminformatics tools or scientific computing environments
- Experience mentoring, teaching, or developing problem sets in a chemistry context
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading AI research labs
- Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
- Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based scientific work
- Put your advanced degree to work in a high-impact, forward-looking field
- Contribute to AI systems that will shape how science is understood and communicated at scale
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
