This role involves helping train and refine AI models on biochemistry topics by designing test problems, writing ground-truth solutions, and evaluating AI-generated scientific reasoning. The position is ideal for PhD-level biochemists who want to apply their expertise to AI development while working flexibly on a remote, hourly contract basis.
This role involves designing, solving, and evaluating advanced chemistry problems to train AI models. Masters and PhD-level chemists will leverage their domain expertise to create rigorous scientific content that enhances AI reasoning capabilities across organic, inorganic, physical, or computational chemistry.
This role involves evaluating AI-generated chemical reasoning and responses to identify flawed mechanisms, unsafe procedures, and analytical errors. You will write prompts to test chemical knowledge, review AI outputs for errors, and provide correct expert-level answers with proper attention to safety and experimental conditions.
Join a network of chemistry experts to evaluate and train the most advanced AI models. You will contribute to improving AI systems by assessing the quality of their chemical proposals, explaining your technical expertise, and flagging discrepancies between theory and practice.
