Chemistry Specialist (Masters/PhDs)
About this role
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
