Chemistry Specialist (Masters/PhDs)

What if your deep knowledge of chemistry could directly shape how AI reasons through the most complex scientific problems in the world? We're looking for Chemistry Specialists with advanced degrees to design, solve, and evaluate challenging chemistry problems — helping the next generation of AI think like a real scientist.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for researchers and academics who want to apply their expertise in a new and high-impact way. No prior AI experience needed — just rigorous scientific knowledge and a sharp analytical mind.

• Organization: Alignerr
• Type: Hourly Contract
• Location: Remote
• Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

• Design and develop advanced chemistry problems across organic, inorganic, physical, or computational chemistry — with real-world scientific relevance
• Solve and review complex problem sets, ensuring scientific accuracy, depth, and clarity
• Apply your domain expertise to challenge and improve AI model reasoning in chemistry
• Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and fellow domain experts
• Evaluate AI-generated chemistry content and flag errors, gaps, or oversimplifications
• Ensure all deliverables meet high standards of scientific rigor and communication

Who You Are

• Hold 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 tools such as Gaussian or VASP
• Exceptionally clear written communicator — you can explain complex chemistry concisely
• Detail-oriented with a systematic, methodical approach to problem-solving
• Self-motivated and reliable when working independently and asynchronously

Nice to Have
