Chemistry Researcher (Masters/PhDs)

About the role

What if your deep knowledge of chemistry could directly shape how AI reasons through some of the hardest 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 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.

Responsibilities

• Design and solve complex, real-world chemistry problems spanning organic, inorganic, physical, and computational chemistry
• Critically evaluate AI-generated scientific reasoning and identify errors in logic, methodology, or accuracy
• Develop rich, challenging problem statements that push AI models to reason at a graduate level
• Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and fellow domain experts to improve model performance
• Ensure scientific rigor, clarity, and depth across all deliverables
• Work independently and on your own schedule — fully asynchronous

Requirements

• Hold a Master's or PhD in Chemistry or a closely related field
• Deep expertise in at least one core area — organic, inorganic, physical, or computational chemistry
• Comfortable applying computational tools or coding (e.g., Python, Gaussian, VASP) to chemistry problems
• Naturally detail-oriented with a high bar for scientific quality
• Fluent in English

Qualifications

• Nice to have: Experience in data annotation, scientific evaluation, or quality review workflows
• Familiarity with AI tools or machine learning concepts
• Background spanning multiple chemistry subfields
• Prior experience writing or reviewing scientific content for technical audiences
