Toxicology Red-Team Chemist for AI Safety

Mercor Inc

Mercor is assembling a panel of chemistry and chemical safety experts to red-team frontier AI models. You will write challenging prompts across three levels and judge model responses against a policy standard.

You will also craft the reference answer with technical reasoning for why a response is correct or incorrect. This writing‑intensive work requires clear, well‑founded justifications and the ability to communicate complex chemical casework to non-specialists.
