About the Role
What if your deep knowledge of chemistry — the years of graduate study, the lab work, the problem-solving — could directly shape how AI reasons through the most complex scientific questions in the world?
We're looking for Chemistry experts with Masters or PhD-level training to help build and evaluate advanced AI models. You'll design and solve challenging chemistry problems that push AI to think with real scientific rigor — across organic, inorganic, physical, and computational chemistry.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No AI background needed — just exceptional chemistry expertise and a sharp, methodical mind.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Design and develop complex, real-world chemistry problems across organic, inorganic, physical, or computational domains
- Solve and critically review advanced chemistry problems to ensure scientific accuracy and depth
- Evaluate AI-generated chemistry reasoning and flag errors, gaps, or oversimplifications
- Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and domain experts to improve model performance
- Ensure scientific rigor, clarity, and precision across all deliverables
- Work independently on task-based assignments, fully on your own schedule
Who You Are
- Holds a Master's or PhD in Chemistry or a closely related field
- Deep expertise in one or more of the following: organic, inorganic, physical, or computational chemistry
- Comfortable working with Python or computational chemistry tools such as Gaussian or VASP
- Exceptionally clear written communicator — able to explain complex concepts with precision
- Detail-oriented, self-directed, and consistent when working independently
- Fluent in English
Nice to Have
- Experience with data annotation, data quality, or evaluation workflows
- Background in scientific writing, peer review, or curriculum development
- Familiarity with AI tools or machine learning concepts
- Cross-disciplinary expertise spanning multiple chemistry subfields
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs and AI teams
- Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
- Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, intellectually challenging work
- Apply your advanced chemistry expertise to a domain that's actively shaping the future of science and technology
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
