Chemistry Expert (Masters/PhDs)

Chemistry Expert (AI Training)
About The Role
What if your years of chemistry expertise could directly shape how AI reasons through the most complex scientific problems in the world? We're looking for Chemistry Masters and PhDs to help build and train cutting-edge AI models — designing rigorous, real-world problems that push the boundaries of what AI can understand and solve.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for serious scientists. You'll work asynchronously alongside world-class AI research teams, applying your deep domain knowledge to problems that matter — in organic, inorganic, physical, or computational chemistry.
Organization: Alignerr
Type: Hourly Contract
Location: Remote
Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
Design, solve, and review advanced chemistry problems with genuine real-world complexity and scientific depth
Apply your expertise in organic, inorganic, physical, or computational chemistry to craft challenging, high-quality problem statements
Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and fellow domain experts to improve AI model reasoning in the sciences
Evaluate AI-generated chemistry content for scientific accuracy, rigor, and clarity
Ensure all deliverables meet high standards of scientific integrity and precision
Work independently on task-based assignments at your own pace — fully on your own schedule
Who You Are
Master's or PhD in Chemistry or a closely related field
Deep expertise in at least one of: organic, inorganic, physical, or computational chemistry
Comfortable working with Python or computational chemistry software such as Gaussian or VASP
Exceptional written communicator — you can explain complex chemistry clearly and precisely
Naturally detail-oriented with a rigorous, systematic approach to scientific problems
Fluent in English
Nice to Have
Prior experience with data annotation, data quality evaluation, or AI training workflows
Familiarity with computational modeling, simulation, or cheminformatics tools
Background in academic research, scientific publishing, or curriculum development
Experience reviewing or writing technical scientific content for diverse audiences
Why Join Us
Work on frontier AI projects alongside leading research labs and institutions
Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, intellectually stimulating work
Put your advanced scientific training to use on problems that are genuinely hard and genuinely important
Contribute to AI development that shapes how the next generation of tools understands science
Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
