Chemistry Specialist (Masters/PhDs) - AI Training
About The Role
What if your deep knowledge of chemistry — the years spent mastering reaction mechanisms, molecular modelling, or computational simulations — could directly shape how AI reasons about science?
We're looking for expert chemists to help build and train cutting‑edge AI models. You'll design and evaluate complex chemistry problems that push AI to think more rigorously, more accurately, and more like a real scientist. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for researchers and specialists who want meaningful, intellectually stimulating work on their own schedule.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Design, solve, and review advanced chemistry problems with real‑world scientific relevance
- Apply your expertise in organic, inorganic, physical, or computational chemistry to construct rigorous, multi‑step problem statements
- Evaluate AI‑generated chemistry reasoning and outputs for scientific accuracy, depth, and clarity
- Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and fellow domain experts to improve AI model performance
- Uphold high standards of scientific rigor across all deliverables
Who You Are
- Holds a Master's or PhD in Chemistry or a closely related field
- Deep expertise in at least one major chemistry domain — organic, inorganic, physical, or computational
- Experience with Python or computational chemistry software (e.g., Gaussian, VASP, or similar tools)
- Exceptional written communication skills with strong attention to scientific detail
- Able to articulate complex chemistry concepts clearly and precisely
- Self‑directed and reliable when working independently
Nice to Have
- Prior experience with data annotation, data quality review, or AI evaluation workflows
- Familiarity with machine learning concepts or AI‑assisted scientific tools
- Background in academic research, industry R&D, or technical writing
- Experience peer‑reviewing scientific content or problem sets
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting‑edge AI projects alongside leading research labs and AI teams
- Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
- Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task‑based scientific work
- Apply your chemistry expertise in a novel, high‑impact domain at the frontier of AI development
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
