Chemistry Researcher (Masters/PhDs)

Chemistry Researcher (Masters/PhDs)

What if your deep knowledge of chemistry — built through years of rigorous study and research — could directly shape how AI understands and reasons about science?

We're looking for Chemistry experts with Masters or PhD-level training to help design, solve, and evaluate complex chemistry problems that push the boundaries of what AI can do. Your work will directly influence how next-generation AI models think through organic synthesis, molecular modeling, reaction mechanisms, and more.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role — work on your own schedule, from anywhere.

Organization: Alignerr

Type: Hourly Contract

Location: Remote

Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

• Design and develop advanced chemistry problems with real-world scientific relevance across organic, inorganic, physical, or computational chemistry
• Solve and review complex problem sets, ensuring accuracy, depth, and scientific rigor
• Apply your domain expertise to create challenging, multi-step problem statements that test genuine chemical reasoning
• Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and fellow domain experts to improve AI model outputs
• Evaluate AI-generated chemistry content for correctness, clarity, and scientific soundness
• Deliver high-quality written work that reflects graduate-level chemical understanding

Who You Are

• Hold a Master's or PhD in Chemistry or a closely related field
• Deep expertise in one or more of: organic, inorganic, physical, or computational chemistry
• Comfortable working with Python or computational chemistry tools (e.g., Gaussian, VASP, or similar)
• Exceptional written communicator — you can explain complex chemistry clearly and precisely
• Naturally detail-oriented with a rigorous, methodical approach to scientific work
• Self-motivated and reliable when working independently in a remote environment
• Fluent in English

Nice to Have

• Prior experience with data annotation, data quality assessment, or AI evaluation workflows
• Background in research, academic publishing, or technical writing
• Familiarity with cheminformatics tools or molecular simulation software
• Experience designing problem sets, assessments, or educational content in chemistry

Why Join Us

• Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading AI research labs and teams
• Fully remote and flexible — set your own hours and work from wherever you choose
• Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, substantive scientific work
• Make a direct, tangible impact on how AI understands and reasons about chemistry
• Training and onboarding support provided — no prior AI experience required
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
