Chemistry Specialist (Masters/PhDs) - AI Training
What if your years of chemistry expertise could directly shape how AI reasons through the most complex scientific problems in the world? We're looking for Chemistry Specialists — Masters and PhD-level experts — to design, solve, and evaluate advanced chemistry problems that train the next generation of AI models.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for working scientists and researchers who want to apply their deep domain knowledge in a new and high-impact arena. No AI background needed — just rigorous scientific thinking and a passion for getting chemistry right.
About The Role
Organization: Alignerr
Type: Hourly Contract
Location: Remote
Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
Design and solve advanced chemistry problems with real-world scientific relevance — spanning organic, inorganic, physical, and computational chemistry
Review and evaluate AI-generated chemistry content for scientific accuracy, depth, and rigor
Craft complex, nuanced problem statements that challenge AI reasoning at the frontier of the field
Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and fellow domain experts to improve model performance
Ensure every deliverable meets the highest standards of scientific clarity and precision
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 independently and producing high-quality written scientific content
Exceptionally detail-oriented — you notice when something is chemically wrong, ambiguous, or imprecise
Strong written communicator who can explain complex concepts with clarity
Fluent in English
Nice to Have
Experience coding in Python or working with computational chemistry tools (e.g., Gaussian, VASP, ORCA)
Prior involvement in data annotation, scientific evaluation, or AI training workflows
Background in research publishing, peer review, or academic instruction
Familiarity with AI tools or prompt-based evaluation platforms
Why Join Us
Work at the intersection of cutting-edge science and frontier AI research
Fully remote and versatile — work when and where it suits you
Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based scientific work
Apply your expertise to problems that genuinely matter — and that most scientists never get to tackle
Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
