Chemistry Specialist (Masters/PhDs) - AI Training

About The Role

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

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No AI background needed — just rigorous scientific expertise and a sharp eye for quality.

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

What You'll Do

• Develop and solve advanced chemistry problems spanning organic, inorganic, physical, and computational chemistry
• Design complex, real-world problem statements that challenge and train AI reasoning capabilities
• Review AI-generated chemistry content for scientific accuracy, depth, and rigor
• Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and domain experts to improve model performance
• Ensure all deliverables meet the highest standards of scientific clarity 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 one or more areas: organic, inorganic, physical, or computational chemistry
• Comfortable applying your knowledge to design and solve challenging, nuanced problems
• Strong written communicator who can explain complex concepts clearly and precisely
• Detail-oriented with a systematic, rigorous approach to scientific work
• Experience coding in Python or working with computational chemistry tools (e.g., Gaussian, VASP)
  
  

Nice to Have

• Prior experience with data annotation, data quality assessment, or AI evaluation workflows
• Familiarity with AI or machine learning concepts as they apply to scientific reasoning
• Background in scientific writing, peer review, or academic publishing
• Experience designing problem sets, exams, or educational materials at an advanced 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
• Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, intellectually stimulating work
• Apply your scientific expertise in a novel, high-impact domain at the frontier of AI
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
