Job description

Overview

Remote Chemistry Researcher (PhD) – 34441

We’re looking for PhD-level researchers in Chemistry to test the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs). You’ll create chemistry problems, analyze model responses, and identify gaps in logic or understanding to measure how well these models handle abstract thinking and structured problem-solving.

Responsibilities

• Create chemistry problems and review how the AI solves them, sharing insights on its understanding of complex reasoning and logical steps.
• Develop reactor- and chemistry-related scenarios and models, for example: a coal gasifier at high temperature producing synthesis gas from a feed of steam and air; calculate equilibrium concentrations in the output stream at 1000 K; and modeling two elementary gas-phase reactions in a plug flow reactor to estimate maximum temperature with known operating and coolant conditions.
• Provide clear, constructive feedback with examples and communicate effectively in a remote setting.

Qualifications

• Currently enrolled in or has completed a Ph.D. or Postdoctoral in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Biochemistry, or a related field.
• Strong research and analytical skills.
• Able to provide clear, constructive feedback with examples.
• Strong written communication, especially in remote settings.
• Comfortable working independently and with stable computer and internet access.

Note: This position is open only to candidates who have completed or are currently pursuing a Ph.D.; applications that do not meet this criterion will not be considered.

Time Commitment & Contract Details

• Commitments Required: at least 4 hours per day and minimum 20 hours per week with 4 hours overlap with PST. Options: 20 hrs/week, 30 hrs/week, or 40 hrs/week.
• Engagement type: Contractor assignment/freelancer (no medical/paid leave).
• Duration of contract: 1 month; expected start date next week.
• Selection Process: Task-based assessment for shortlisted candidates, followed by a contract offer with defined timelines and workload.
