Job description

Overview

Remote Chemistry Researcher (PhD) - 34441

PhD-level researchers in Chemistry are sought to test the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs). You will create chemistry problems, analyze model responses, and identify gaps in logic or understanding. The goal is to measure how well these models handle abstract thinking and structured problem-solving.

Responsibilities

You’ll create chemistry problems, review how the AI solves them, and share insights on how well it understands complex reasoning and logical steps.
Develop reactor and chemical-process problems and analyze model responses for accuracy and reasoning quality.
Provide clear, constructive feedback with concrete examples.

Qualifications

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