Role Responsibilities

  • Author and review challenging chemistry problems to train and evaluate frontier AI models.
  • Evaluate model outputs on tasks like retrosynthesis, mechanism prediction, and spectral interpretation.

Must-Have

  • First-author or co-first-author publications in top journals like JACS, Nature Chemistry, or Science.
  • Doctoral or postdoctoral training at a top-20 global institution for chemistry or STEM.
  • Competitive fellowships such as NSF GRFP, Hertz, or Sloan Research Fellow.
  • Issued patents, spin-out companies, or grants as a named PI or co-PI.
  • International Chemistry Olympiad (IChO) Gold/Silver/Bronze medalist.
  • Active research role: PhD candidate, postdoc, instructor, faculty, principal scientist, or industry researcher.

Engagement

  • Part-time: 8 to 20 hours per week.
  • W-2 employment with Cincinnatus LLC; payroll, benefits, and compliance handled by Cincinnatus.
  • Compensation reflects research seniority and credentials.
  • No fixed end date; contributors continue as long as the program needs their expertise.
