Job description

This role is for one of our clients
Compensation: $80 - $110 per hour
Join a leading AI research initiative developing the next generation of AI systems for scientific reasoning. We are seeking accomplished Chemistry Research Collaborators to help advance AI models capable of solving complex chemistry problems at the level of active researchers-not textbooks.
This opportunity is ideal for researchers with expertise in organic synthesis, reaction mechanisms, catalysis, structural and physical chemistry, chemical biology, computational and theoretical chemistry, materials chemistry, or related disciplines. Your research experience will directly contribute to improving AI systems that perform advanced scientific reasoning across frontier chemistry topics.
This is a remote, part-time engagement requiring up to 20 hours per week.
Requirements
Key Responsibilities
  • Review and evaluate chemistry research papers for scientific accuracy, originality, and significance.
  • Design and review challenging chemistry problems used to train and evaluate advanced AI models.
  • Assess AI-generated solutions involving:
    • Organic synthesis and retrosynthesis
    • Reaction mechanism prediction
    • Spectral interpretation
    • Computational chemistry
    • Chemical literature analysis
  • Identify reasoning errors and scientific gaps that experienced chemistry researchers would readily recognize.
  • Provide detailed, evidence-based written feedback to improve AI model performance.
  • Collaborate with fellow researchers and project teams to ensure consistency and quality across evaluation tasks.

Required Qualifications
We're seeking researchers who demonstrate several of the following:
  • First-author or co-first-author publications in leading journals such as:
    • Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS)
    • Nature Chemistry
    • Science
    • Nature
    • Angewandte Chemie
    • Nature Catalysis
    • ACS Catalysis
    • Chem (Cell Press)
    • Chemical Reviews
    • Chemical Society Reviews
    • Journal of Organic Chemistry
    • Organic Letters
    • Inorganic Chemistry
    • Nature Communications
  • PhD or postdoctoral training from a globally recognized institution in Chemistry or a related STEM discipline.
  • Recipient of prestigious fellowships or research awards such as:
    • NSF Graduate Research Fellowship
    • Hertz Fellowship
    • Sloan Research Fellowship
    • Camille and Henry Dreyfus Award
    • Searle Scholar Award
    • Pew Scholar Award
    • Beckman Young Investigator Award
    • NIH F32/NRSA Fellowship
    • Damon Runyon Fellowship
    • Helen Hay Whitney Fellowship
    • Marie Curie Fellowship
    • Fulbright Scholarship
    • Rhodes Scholarship
    • Marshall Scholarship
    • Gates Cambridge Scholarship
    • Schmidt Science Fellowship
    • NSF CAREER Award
    • DOE Early Career Award
    • Or equivalent internationally recognized research awards
  • Named inventor on patents, founder of a research spin-out, or Principal Investigator/Co-Investigator on funded research grants.
  • Medalist (Gold, Silver, or Bronze) at the International Chemistry Olympiad (IChO).
  • Current or recent experience in an active research role, including:
    • PhD Candidate
    • Postdoctoral Researcher
    • Faculty Member
    • Instructor
    • Principal Scientist
    • Industry Researcher
  • Outstanding senior PhD students and recent graduates with exceptional publication records are strongly encouraged to apply. Demonstrated research excellence is valued more than years of professional experience.

Engagement Details
  • Schedule: Part-time (up to 20 hours per week)
  • Work Arrangement: Fully Remote
  • Compensation: Competitive and based on research experience, publications, and academic credentials.
  • Duration: Ongoing, subject to project requirements and performance.

Why Join?
  • Help shape the future of AI-powered scientific reasoning in chemistry.
  • Apply your research expertise to cutting-edge AI evaluation and training initiatives.
  • Collaborate with an accomplished network of researchers across multiple chemistry disciplines.
  • Influence the development of AI systems capable of solving complex scientific and chemical reasoning challenges.

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and are committed to providing equal opportunities and reasonable accommodations throughout the recruitment process.
Contract Details
  • Independent contractor engagement.
  • Fully remote with flexible working hours.
  • Project duration may be extended, shortened, or concluded based on project requirements and performance.
  • Weekly payments for approved work completed.
  • Please note that H1-B and STEM OPT sponsorship is not available for this engagement.
