Chemistry Specialist (Masters/PhDs)

Chemistry Specialist (Masters/PhDs) - AI Training

About the Role

What if your deep knowledge of chemistry — built through years of rigorous study and research — could directly shape how AI reasons through the most complex scientific problems in the world?

We're looking for Chemistry experts with advanced degrees to design, solve, and evaluate challenging chemistry problems that train cutting-edge AI models. Your expertise will help AI systems think more like a scientist — with precision, depth, and real-world relevance.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No AI background needed — just a command of chemistry and a passion for intellectual rigor.

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

What You'll Do

• Design and develop advanced chemistry problems with genuine scientific depth and real-world relevance
• Apply your expertise in organic, inorganic, physical, or computational chemistry to construct complex, well-reasoned problem statements
• Solve and review chemistry problems to ensure scientific accuracy, clarity, and rigor
• Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and other domain experts to enhance AI model reasoning
• Evaluate AI-generated scientific outputs and provide structured, expert-level feedback
• 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
• Strong expertise in at least one of: organic, inorganic, physical, or computational chemistry
• Comfortable applying advanced chemical concepts to novel, complex problem scenarios
• Naturally detail-oriented with a commitment to scientific accuracy and clarity
• Clear and effective written communicator — you can explain complex ideas precisely
• Self-motivated and reliable when working independently

Nice to Have

• Experience coding in Python or working with computational chemistry software (e.g., Gaussian, VASP, ORCA)
• Prior involvement in research, academic publishing, or scientific writing
• Background in data annotation, data quality, or AI evaluation workflows
• Experience designing assessments, problem sets, or technical training materials

Why Join Us

• Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside world-leading research labs
• Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
• Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, intellectually stimulating work
• Make a direct, tangible impact on how AI understands and reasons through science
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
