Chemistry Researcher (Masters/PhDs)

Chemistry Researcher (Masters/PhDs) - AI Training

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.

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

What You'll Do

• 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

Who You Are

• 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
• Exceptionally precise in written communication --- you explain complex ideas clearly and accurately
• Naturally detail-oriented with a high bar for scientific quality
• Fluent in English

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

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
• Use your advanced degree to make a direct, tangible impact on how AI understands chemistry
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
