Chemistry Researcher (Masters/PhDs)
About this role
About the Role What if your deep knowledge of chemistry — the years of graduate study, the lab work, the problem-solving — could directly shape how AI reasons through the most complex scientific questions in the world? We're looking for Chemistry experts with Masters or PhD-level training to help build and evaluate advanced AI models. You'll design and solve challenging chemistry problems that push AI to think with real scientific rigor — across organic, inorganic, physical, and computational chemistry. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No AI background needed — just exceptional chemistry expertise and a sharp, methodical mind. - Organization: Alignerr - Type: Hourly Contract - Location: Remote - Commitment: 10–40 hours/week What You'll Do - Design and develop complex, real-world chemistry problems across organic, inorganic, physical, or computational domains - Solve and critically review advanced chemistry problems to ensure scientific accuracy and depth - Evaluate AI-generated chemistry reasoning and flag errors, gaps, or oversimplifications - Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and domain experts to improve model performance - Ensure scientific rigor, clarity, and precision across all deliverables - Work independently on task-based assignments, fully on your own schedule Who You Are - Holds a Master's or PhD in Chemistry or a closely related field - Deep expertise in one or more of the following: organic, inorganic, physical, or computational chemistry - Comfortable working with Python or computational chemistry tools such as Gaussian or VASP - Exceptionally clear written communicator — able to explain complex concepts with precision - Detail-oriented, self-directed, and consistent when working independently - Fluent in English Nice to Have - Experience with data annotation, data quality, or evaluation workflows - Background in scientific writing, peer review, or curriculum development - Familiarity with AI tools or machine learning concepts - Cross-disciplinary 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 challenging work - Apply your advanced chemistry expertise to a domain that's actively shaping the future of science and technology - Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
