Chemistry Expert (Masters/PhDs)

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 PhD level — to help build and train cutting-edge AI models by designing, solving, and evaluating advanced chemistry problems that push the boundaries of what AI can understand.

Chemistry Expert (AI Training)

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No AI background needed — just deep expertise in chemistry and a passion for scientific rigor.

• 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 review complex problem sets to ensure scientific accuracy, depth, and clarity
• Evaluate AI-generated chemistry reasoning and outputs against expert-level standards
• Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and domain experts to strengthen model performance
• Ensure every deliverable meets the highest standards of scientific rigor and precision

Who You Are

• Holds 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 with strong written and verbal communication skills
• Self-motivated and reliable when working independently in an asynchronous environment
• Fluent in English

Nice to Have

• Prior experience with data annotation, data quality assurance, or AI evaluation workflows
• Background in academic research, scientific publishing, or curriculum development
• Familiarity with AI tools or language model evaluation as an end user
• Experience designing problem sets, coursework, or assessments in chemistry

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, intellectually stimulating work
• Make a direct, tangible impact on how AI understands and reasons through complex science
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
