Chemistry Specialist (Masters/PhDs) - AI Training
About The Role
What if your deep knowledge of chemistry — the years spent mastering reaction mechanisms, molecular modelling, or computational simulations — could directly shape how AI reasons about science
We're looking for expert chemists to help build and train cutting-edge AI models. You'll design and evaluate complex chemistry problems that push AI to think more rigorously, more accurately, and more like a real scientist. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for researchers and specialists who want meaningful, intellectually stimulating work on their own schedule.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Design, solve, and review advanced chemistry problems with real-world scientific relevance
- Apply your expertise in organic, inorganic, physical, or computational chemistry to construct rigorous, multi-step problem statements
- Evaluate AI-generated chemistry reasoning and outputs for scientific accuracy, depth, and clarity
- Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and fellow domain experts to improve AI model performance
- Uphold high standards of scientific rigor across all deliverables
Who You Are
- Holds a Master's or PhD in Chemistry or a closely related field
- Deep expertise in at least one major chemistry domain — organic, inorganic, physical, or computational
- Experience with Python or computational chemistry software (e.g., Gaussian, VASP, or similar tools)
- Exceptional written communication skills with strong attention to scientific detail
- Able to articulate complex chemistry concepts clearly and precisely
- Self-directed and reliable when working independently
Nice to Have
- Prior experience with data annotation, data quality review, or AI evaluation workflows
- Familiarity with machine learning concepts or AI-assisted scientific tools
- Background in academic research, industry R&D, or technical writing
- Experience peer-reviewing scientific content or problem sets
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs and AI teams
- Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
- Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based scientific work
- Apply your chemistry expertise in a novel, high-impact domain at the frontier of AI development
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
