Chemistry Researcher (Masters/PhDs)
About this role
About the Role What if your deep knowledge of chemistry — built through years of rigorous study and research — could directly shape how AI understands and reasons about science? We're looking for Chemistry experts with Masters or PhD-level training to help design, solve, and evaluate complex chemistry problems that push the boundaries of what AI can do. Your work will directly influence how next-generation AI models think through organic synthesis, molecular modeling, reaction mechanisms, and more. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role — work on your own schedule, from anywhere. - Organization: Alignerr - Type: Hourly Contract - Location: Remote - Commitment: 10–40 hours/week What You'll Do - Design and develop advanced chemistry problems with real-world scientific relevance across organic, inorganic, physical, or computational chemistry - Solve and review complex problem sets, ensuring accuracy, depth, and scientific rigor - Apply your domain expertise to create challenging, multi-step problem statements that test genuine chemical reasoning - Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and fellow domain experts to improve AI model outputs - Evaluate AI-generated chemistry content for correctness, clarity, and scientific soundness - Deliver high-quality written work that reflects graduate-level chemical understanding Who You Are - Hold a Master's or PhD in Chemistry or a closely related field - Deep expertise in one or more of: organic, inorganic, physical, or computational chemistry - Comfortable working with Python or computational chemistry tools (e.g., Gaussian, VASP, or similar) - Exceptional written communicator — you can explain complex chemistry clearly and precisely - Naturally detail-oriented with a rigorous, methodical approach to scientific work - Self-motivated and reliable when working independently in a remote environment - Fluent in English Nice to Have - Prior experience with data annotation, data quality assessment, or AI evaluation workflows - Background in research, academic publishing, or technical writing - Familiarity with cheminformatics tools or molecular simulation software - Experience designing problem sets, assessments, or educational content in chemistry Why Join Us - Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading AI research labs and teams - Fully remote and flexible — set your own hours and work from wherever you choose - Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, substantive scientific work - Make a direct, tangible impact on how AI understands and reasons about chemistry - Training and onboarding support provided — no prior AI experience required - Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
