Chemistry Specialist (Masters/PhDs) - AI Training

About The Role

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 with advanced degrees to design, solve, and evaluate graduate-level chemistry problems that train cutting-edge AI models to think like expert scientists.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for working chemists and researchers who want to apply their deep domain knowledge in a high-impact, forward-looking way. No AI background required — just serious chemistry expertise and a commitment to scientific rigor.

• Organization: Alignerr
• Type: Hourly Contract
• Location: Remote
• Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You’ll Do

• Design and solve complex, real-world chemistry problems spanning organic, inorganic, physical, or computational chemistry
• Review and evaluate AI-generated chemistry content for scientific accuracy, depth, and clarity
• Craft challenging problem statements that push AI reasoning to graduate-level standards
• Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and fellow domain experts to improve model performance
• Ensure all deliverables meet high standards of scientific rigor and precision
• Work independently on task-based assignments — fully on your own schedule

Who You Are

• 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 technical concepts at a graduate or research level
• Naturally detail-oriented with strong written communication skills in English
• Self-motivated and reliable when working independently
• Experience coding in Python or using computational chemistry tools (e.g., Gaussian, VASP) is a strong plus

Nice to Have

• Prior experience with data annotation, content evaluation, or quality assurance workflows
• Familiarity with AI tools or language model evaluation as an end user
• Background in academic research, scientific publishing, or curriculum development
• Experience designing problem sets, exams, or instructional materials at a graduate level

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
• Apply your advanced chemistry knowledge in a meaningful, intellectually stimulating way
• Freelance autonomy with the structure of impactful, task-based work
• Contribute to AI systems that will shape how science is understood and communicated at scale
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
