Remote PhD Chemist for AI Chemistry Benchmarking

Weekday; EE. UU.; A distancia; USD 124.000 - 193.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

Weekday is seeking highly experienced PhD chemists to contribute scientific expertise in the development and evaluation of next-generation AI models focused on chemistry. You will assess AI outputs, design benchmarks, and craft rigorous reference solutions while collaborating with AI researchers across disciplines.

This remote, fully flexible contractor role requires US-based candidates with a strong publication record and LLM experience.

Formación

• PhD in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or closely related field.
• Senior-level academic or research experience (university appointment, PI, staff scientist, or equivalent).
• Deep specialization in at least one chemistry domain (organic, physical, computational, inorganic, materials, analytical, chemical biology, or theoretical).
• Strong peer‑reviewed publication record.
• Hands-on experience using LLMs and AI tools in scientific workflows.
• Excellent written communication and ability to provide precise, structured feedback.
• Must be currently based in the United States.

Responsabilidades

• Expert Evaluation: Review chemistry-related tasks and AI-generated outputs for scientific accuracy, logical consistency, and research-level rigor.
• Identify implausible reaction mechanisms, infeasible chemical reactions, stoichiometric inconsistencies, thermodynamic errors, and incorrect spectral interpretations.
• Problem Design: Develop precise, challenging, research-level chemistry problem statements reflecting real-world challenges.
• Reference Solutions: Create detailed reference solutions with chemical equations, mechanisms, calculations, and explanations.
• Benchmark Development: Design advanced chemistry problems, datasets, and benchmarks to assess AI model capabilities.
• Scientific Assessment: Evaluate AI-generated chemical reasoning, experimental approaches, and theoretical explanations.
• Research Collaboration: Work with AI researchers and subject matter experts to establish evaluation methodologies.
• Feedback & Calibration: Translate chemical knowledge into structured feedback and measurable quality standards.
