Chemical Safety & Toxicology Expert

Chemical Safety & Toxicology Expert

micro1 is engaging Chemical Safety & Toxicology Experts to contribute to a customer's project focused on enhancing chemical safety evaluation frameworks. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters. This opportunity is tailored for professionals with proven backgrounds in chemical weapons nonproliferation, hazardous materials, toxicology, and industrial chemistry—especially those experienced with controlled-substance risks, regulatory protocols, or chemical-risk assessment. Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, are highly valued as you will provide nuanced insights and feedback throughout the engagement.

Scope of Work

1. Analyze and evaluate data related to chemical safety, toxicological risk, precursor chemicals, and hazardous-substance scenarios.
2. Review, annotate, and provide critical feedback on documents, datasets, and model outputs related to chemical weapons, toxicology, and hazardous materials.
3. Contribute expert perspectives on nonproliferation standards, regulatory protocols, and safety operations for chemical handling and risk mitigation.
4. Develop and refine guidelines for the assessment of chemical and toxicological hazards in realistic and hypothetical situations.
5. Interpret and explain the implications of chemical interactions, exposure risks, and toxicity profiles for AI training purposes.
6. Collaborate remotely with project coordinators, providing written and verbal clarifications or additional context as needed.
7. Identify gaps or inaccuracies in content or model assessments pertaining to chemical safety and toxicology topics.

Preferred Qualifications

1. Advanced degree (PhD, MD, JD, PsyD, or relevant master's) in chemistry, toxicology, industrial hygiene, or closely related disciplines.
2. Minimum 5 years of specialized experience in areas such as chemical weapons nonproliferation, hazardous materials handling, toxicological risk assessment, or chemical safety protocols.
3. Experience as an independent consultant, policy advisor, response specialist, or safety officer in industry, government, or research settings.
4. Expertise in controlled substances, precursor risk evaluation, or nonproliferation regulatory frameworks.
5. Demonstrated ability to communicate complex technical information effectively in both written and verbal formats.
6. Familiarity with standards for chemical safety, hazardous material management, or toxicology operations in high-stakes environments.
7. Interest in supporting AI advancement through the application of domain expertise to new and emerging technology platforms.
