Job description
About The Role
What if your years of chemistry training could directly shape how AI reasons through the most complex scientific problems in the world? We're looking for Chemistry experts --- Masters and PhDs --- to design, solve, and evaluate advanced chemistry problems that push the boundaries of what AI can understand.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for working scientists, researchers, and academics who want to apply their expertise in a meaningful new direction. No prior AI experience needed --- just deep domain knowledge and a passion for scientific rigor.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10--40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Design and develop complex, real-world chemistry problems spanning organic, inorganic, physical, or computational chemistry
- Solve and critically review advanced problem sets to ensure scientific accuracy, depth, and clarity
- Apply computational tools and domain expertise to create challenging, nuanced problem statements
- Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and fellow domain experts to enhance AI model reasoning
- Uphold rigorous scientific standards across all deliverables --- from problem framing to final review
Who You Are
- Master's or PhD in Chemistry or a closely related field
- Deep expertise in organic, inorganic, physical, or computational chemistry
- Experienced with Python or computational chemistry software (e.g., Gaussian, VASP, or equivalent)
- Exceptionally clear written communicator --- you can explain complex science with precision
- Detail-oriented, methodical, and committed to scientific accuracy
- Fluent in English
Nice to Have
- Prior experience with data annotation, data quality evaluation, or AI training workflows
- Familiarity with AI tools or scientific benchmarking systems
- Background in academic research, peer review, or scientific publishing
- Experience working across multiple sub-disciplines of chemistry
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside the world's leading research labs
- Fully remote and flexible --- work when and where it suits you
- Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, intellectually challenging work
- Apply your scientific expertise in a high-impact, forward-looking domain
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
