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. Collab
