Chemistry Expert (Remote Project)

About the role

A remote, contract project for chemistry experts to design advanced, deterministic problems with exactly one verifiable correct answer, for use in training and evaluation of frontier AI models. The work is 10-20 hours per week, paid up to 40 USD per hour, over 2 months with possible extension, starting immediately.

Key responsibilities

• Design difficult chemistry problems that reflect real scientific workflows
• Create deterministic tasks with one correct answer and fully verified solutions
• Develop reasoning-intensive and computationally grounded problems
• Use Python and, where appropriate, domain-specific chemistry tools or simulation packages
• Ensure all tasks are reproducible, technically precise and clearly documented
• Write concise, rigorous technical explanations in English

Required profile

• Bachelor's, Master's or PhD in Chemistry or a related field
• Research or industry experience with computational or quantitative chemistry workflows
• Ability to design original, difficult problems beyond textbook recall
• Nice to have: experience with computational chemistry, cheminformatics, spectroscopy analysis, molecular modeling or specialized chemistry software, and with professional chemistry workflows involving simulation or data analysis tools

Required skills

• Strong Python skills and familiarity with scientific libraries
• Understanding of modeling, numerical approaches and chemical reasoning
