Chemistry Expert (PhD) — AI Safety (Train AI Models Part Time!)

About the role

We're hiring PhD-level chemists to help make advanced AI models safer. You'll apply your scientific expertise to evaluate and strengthen how these models handle specialized chemistry topics. No prior AI/ML experience is required — we'll train you on the workflow.

What you'll do

• Write expert-level prompts across specialized chemistry topics.
• Evaluate and annotate model responses for scientific accuracy, helpfulness, and appropriate handling of sensitive content.
• Apply structured guidelines to classify prompts and conversations.

What we're looking for

• A PhD in chemistry or a closely related field — ongoing or completed (e.g., organic, inorganic, analytical, physical, medicinal, or computational chemistry; chemical engineering; materials science).
• Deep familiarity with modern laboratory and computational techniques in your subfield.
• Strong scientific reasoning and writing in English.
• Sound judgment around chemical safety and the responsible handling of dual-use information.

Nice to have

• Research or coursework touching on chemical safety/security, synthesis, or hazardous-materials handling.
• Experience reviewing, grading, or redating technical content.

Project Timeline

• Start date: Immediate
• Commitment: Part-time (15-25 hours/week, with flexibility up to 40 hours/week)
