About this role
Are you an organic/inorganic chemistry expert eager to shape the future of AI? Large-scale language models are evolving into powerful engines of scientific discovery. With high-quality training data, tomorrow’s AI can democratize world-class education and streamline lab work for scientists everywhere—that training data begins with you.
You’ll challenge advanced language models on topics like organometallic complexes, cross-coupling reactions, synthetic pathways, metal-ligand interactions, supramolecular assembly, NMR and IR spectral interpretation, and synthesis of coordination compounds. Document every failure mode to harden model reasoning. Live and breathe reaction mechanisms, coordination chemistry, stereoselective synthesis, catalysis, main group chemistry, ligand design, redox chemistry, crystal field theory, and spectroscopy.
On a typical day, converse with the model on chemical synthesis strategies and theoretical chemistry questions. Verify factual accuracy and logical soundness. Capture reproducible error traces and suggest improvements to prompt engineering and evaluation metrics.
A PhD in chemistry or closely related physical science field is ideal, with peer-reviewed publications, laboratory synthesis and analysis experience, or applied chemical design projects signaling fit. Clear, metacognitive communication—showing your work—is essential. Turn your expertise into the knowledge base for tomorrow’s AI.
