Expert Contributor - Chemistry

Task-Based Independent Contractor Opportunity

Overview

We're looking for Chemistry experts who can design and solve challenging, real-world reasoning tasks that push the boundaries of advanced AI systems. You'll create high-quality chemistry problems, develop rigorous solutions, and help pinpoint exactly where models fall short in scientific reasoning. The focus here is on graduate-level difficulty, scientific precision, and reproducible evaluation. If you love crafting tricky problems and have a sharp eye for where reasoning breaks down, this one's for you.

Key Responsibilities

• Design graduate-level, multi-step analytical chemistry problems with precise, fully worked solutions.
• Evaluate AI-generated scientific reasoning and identify where models fail or produce incorrect logic.
• Provide rigorous, reproducible solution paths and grading rubrics for each problem.
• Review and critique competing solution approaches across multi-turn evaluation sessions.
• Collaborate asynchronously with the project team on problem calibration and quality assurance.
• Ensure all problems meet standards for scientific accuracy, clarity, and appropriate difficulty.

• Deep fluency in Chemistry, with the ability to create graduate-level, multi-step analytical problems and produce precise, fully worked solutions.
• Strong review instincts with the ability to identify subtle scientific errors and evaluate competing solution paths.
• Master's or PhD candidate, or graduate, in Chemistry or a closely related discipline.
• 2+ years of experience in academic research, university-level instruction, or advanced scientific problem design.

• Background in one or more of: academic research, university-level instruction, advanced problem writing, laboratory science, or technical scientific communication.
• Familiarity with grading rubrics, olympiad- or exam-style question design, or evaluating AI-generated scientific reasoning.
• Published research in a peer-reviewed chemistry journal.
• Experience with computational chemistry tools or cheminformatics platforms.
