About the Role
What if your deep expertise in chemistry could directly shape how AI reasons through the most complex scientific problems in the world? We're looking for Chemistry Specialists — Masters and PhD holders — to design, solve, and evaluate advanced chemistry problems that train cutting-edge AI models to think like real scientists.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for working researchers, postdocs, industry chemists, and academics who want to apply their expertise in a high-impact, intellectually stimulating way. No prior AI experience needed — your scientific depth is what matters.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Design and solve advanced chemistry problems spanning organic, inorganic, physical, or computational chemistry — with real-world scientific relevance
- Review and evaluate AI-generated responses to chemistry problems for accuracy, rigor, and depth
- Develop complex, nuanced problem statements that push AI reasoning to its limits
- Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and fellow domain experts to improve model performance
- Ensure scientific clarity, methodological soundness, and expert-level quality across all deliverables
- Work independently on task-based assignments at a pace that suits your schedule
Who You Are
- Holds a Master's or PhD in Chemistry or a closely related field
- Deep expertise in one or more subfields — organic, inorganic, physical, or computational chemistry
- Comfortable working with Python or computational chemistry tools such as Gaussian or VASP
- Precise and rigorous in scientific writing, with exceptional attention to detail
- Fluent in English with strong written communication skills
- Self-directed and reliable when working independently in an asynchronous environment
Nice to Have
- Experience in data annotation, quality evaluation, or AI training workflows
- Background in research, academic publishing, or technical writing
- Familiarity with machine learning concepts or scientific AI tools
- Experience designing problem sets, exams, or educational materials at a graduate level
Why Join Us
- Work on frontier AI projects alongside the world's leading research labs
- Fully remote and asynchronous — work when and where it suits you
- Apply your scientific expertise to work that genuinely matters at scale
- Freelance autonomy with the substance of meaningful, intellectually engaging tasks
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
