Chemistry Researcher (Masters/PhDs)

Chemistry Researcher (Masters/PhDs) - AI Training

About The Role

What if your deep knowledge of chemistry could directly shape how AI reasons through some of the most complex scientific problems in the world? We're looking for Chemistry Experts — Masters and PhD-level researchers — to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models by designing, solving, and reviewing advanced chemistry problems.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for serious scientists. No AI background needed — just rigorous domain expertise and a passion for getting things right.

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 chemistry Solve and critically review advanced problem sets to ensure scientific accuracy and depth Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and fellow domain experts to improve AI model reasoning Apply computational tools or coding skills (e.g., Python, Gaussian, VASP) where relevant to problem design Ensure all deliverables meet a high standard of scientific rigor, clarity, and precision Complete task-based assignments independently 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 areas: organic, inorganic, physical, or computational chemistry Comfortable working with Python or computational chemistry software (e.g., Gaussian, VASP) Exceptionally clear communicator — written explanations are precise, structured, and accessible Detail-oriented and rigorous — you hold your work to a high scientific standard Fluent in English and based in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, or New Zealand

Nice to Have

Prior experience with data annotation, evaluation systems, or data quality workflows Familiarity with AI tools or research platforms as an end user Background in academic research, scientific publishing, or laboratory instruction Experience designing problem sets, exams, or curriculum in chemistry

Why Join Us

Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside the world's leading research labs Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based scientific work Put your expertise to use in a new and genuinely impactful way Contribute to AI systems that will shape how science is understood and communicated at scale Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
