About the Role
What if your deep knowledge of chemistry could directly shape how AI reasons through the most complex scientific problems in the world? We're looking for Chemistry experts — Masters and PhD holders — to help build and evaluate AI models that think with genuine scientific rigor.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for working scientists, postdocs, and researchers who want to apply their expertise beyond the lab. No AI background required — just a command of chemistry and a drive for precision.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Design and develop advanced, real-world chemistry problems spanning organic, inorganic, physical, or computational chemistry
- Solve and critically review complex problem sets to ensure scientific accuracy, depth, and clarity
- Evaluate AI-generated responses to chemistry questions and identify gaps in reasoning or factual errors
- Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers to enhance how AI models approach scientific thinking
- Maintain rigorous standards of scientific quality across all deliverables
Who You Are
- Holds a Master's or PhD in Chemistry or a closely related field
- Deep expertise in at least one of: organic, inorganic, physical, or computational chemistry
- Comfortable working with Python or computational chemistry tools (e.g., Gaussian, VASP)
- Exceptional written communicator — you can explain complex science with precision and clarity
- Detail-oriented and self-directed when working independently
- Fluent in English
Nice to Have
- Experience in data annotation, quality evaluation, or academic peer review
- Background in AI, machine learning, or scientific software development
- Familiarity with cheminformatics tools or molecular modelling platforms
- Experience designing problem sets, exams, or technical assessments
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside the world's leading research labs
- Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
- Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based scientific work
- Make a direct, tangible impact on how AI understands and reasons through chemistry
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
