Chemistry Expert or Specialist
About this role
About the Role What if your years of chemistry expertise could directly shape how AI reasons through complex scientific problems — from undergraduate fundamentals to PhD-level research? We're looking for Chemistry Experts to help evaluate and improve the scientific reasoning of cutting-edge AI models, ensuring they think rigorously, accurately, and like a true scientist. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for PhD-level chemists who want to apply their knowledge in a new and impactful way. No AI background required — your deep subject matter expertise is what matters. - Organization: Alignerr - Type: Hourly Contract - Location: Remote - Commitment: 10–40 hours/week What You'll Do - Design advanced chemistry problems spanning areas such as organic chemistry, biochemistry, chemical engineering, thermodynamics, and more - Develop rigorous, step-by-step solutions that demonstrate expert-level reasoning and logical precision - Evaluate AI-generated responses for scientific accuracy, depth of reasoning, and quality of explanation - Identify gaps, errors, and weaknesses in AI outputs and provide structured, actionable feedback - Collaborate with researchers to build and refine benchmarks across undergraduate to PhD-level chemistry topics - Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule Who You Are - Pursuing or holding a PhD in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Biochemistry, or a closely related field - Strong problem-solving skills across advanced chemistry domains with the ability to reason from first principles - Able to communicate complex scientific ideas clearly and precisely in writing - Naturally detail-oriented — you notice when reasoning is flawed, incomplete, or imprecise - Self-motivated and reliable when working independently - No prior AI or machine learning experience required Nice to Have - Experience in data annotation, data quality assessment, or evaluation systems - Background in academic research, curriculum development, or scientific writing - Familiarity with AI tools or language model evaluation workflows - Expertise spanning multiple chemistry subfields 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, intellectually stimulating work - Make a direct, tangible impact on how AI understands and applies scientific knowledge - Gain exposure to how large language models are trained and evaluated - Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
