Chemistry Expert or Specialist
Chemistry Expert or Specialist (AI Training) 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
