Job description

Chemistry Researcher (Masters/PhDs) - AI Training

About The Role

What if your years of chemistry training could directly shape how AI reasons through some of the most complex scientific problems in the world? We're looking for Chemistry experts — Masters and PhD holders — to design, solve, and evaluate advanced chemistry problems that teach cutting-edge AI models to think like a scientist.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for deep subject-matter experts. No AI background needed — just rigorous chemistry knowledge and a passion for scientific precision.

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

What You'll Do

• Design and develop complex, real-world chemistry problems spanning organic, inorganic, physical, or computational chemistry
• Solve and review advanced problems to ensure scientific accuracy, depth, and clarity
• Apply your domain expertise to challenge and improve AI model reasoning in chemistry
• Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and fellow domain experts
• Maintain rigorous scientific standards across all deliverables
• Work independently on task-based assignments, fully on your own schedule

Who You Are

• Holds a Master's or PhD in Chemistry or a closely related field
• Deep expertise in one or more of: organic, inorganic, physical, or computational chemistry
• Comfortable working with Python or computational chemistry tools such as Gaussian or VASP
• Exceptionally precise — you catch errors others miss and communicate complex ideas clearly
• Fluent in English with strong written communication skills
• Self-motivated and reliable when working independently

Nice to Have

• Prior experience with data annotation, evaluation systems, or AI/ML workflows
• Background in academic research, peer review, or scientific publishing
• Familiarity with cheminformatics tools or molecular modeling software
• Experience designing problem sets, exams, or educational content in chemistry

Why Join Us

• Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs
• Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
• Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based work
• Put your advanced chemistry training to work on problems that genuinely matter
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
