Job description

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 flexible — 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
