[Hiring] Chemistry Specialist @24-MAG

Role Description

We are sharing a specialised consulting opportunity for experienced Chemistry professionals with strong expertise in wet-lab methods, chemical reactions, experimental design, analytical chemistry, scientific documentation, and laboratory problem solving to contribute to an advanced AI training and scientific-evaluation project. Selected professionals will design and analyse chemistry experiments, interpret results, review methodologies, and provide rigorous scientific feedback supporting next-generation AI systems. The work requires strong hands-on laboratory experience, critical thinking, and clear technical communication. No prior experience in AI is required.

Key Responsibilities

• Experimental Chemistry & Wet-Lab Analysis
  • Design and evaluate qualitative and quantitative chemistry experiments
  • Analyse chemical reactions, mechanisms, reaction conditions, and expected outcomes
  • Review experimental setup, controls, measurements, instrumentation, and reproducibility
  • Identify potential sources of error, contamination, or unexpected behaviour
  • Recommend improvements to experimental and laboratory workflows
• Analytical Chemistry & Scientific Evaluation
  • Review analytical methods, separation techniques, and laboratory datasets
  • Assess whether methods are appropriate for the scientific question
  • Interpret instrumentation results and identify limitations or uncertainty
  • Apply sound scientific judgement to research, quality-control, product-development, and process-optimisation scenarios
  • Evaluate quality and safety considerations where relevant
• AI Evaluation & Documentation
  • Review AI-generated chemistry content for scientific accuracy
  • Identify incorrect assumptions, reaction errors, or weak reasoning
  • Document methods, findings, assumptions, and limitations clearly
  • Provide structured feedback supporting model improvement
  • Explain complex chemistry concepts to technical and non-specialist audiences

Qualifications

• Advanced degree in Chemistry or a closely related discipline; PhD preferred
• Extensive hands-on wet-lab experience
• Strong experimental-design and chemical-reaction expertise
• Strong background in analytical chemistry
• Experience with laboratory instrumentation and separation techniques
• Strong understanding of reproducibility, quality control, and laboratory best practices
• Experience in research, product development, process optimisation, or quality-control environments is valuable
• Familiarity with laboratory safety, regulatory, or quality guidelines is advantageous
• Strong critical-thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills
• Experience working across interdisciplinary projects is beneficial
• No prior AI-training or model-evaluation experience is required

Engagement Details

• Independent contractor engagement
• Fully remote
• Compensation: $70–$90/hour
• Work will involve chemistry analysis, wet-lab methodology, experimental design, chemical reactions, analytical chemistry, scientific documentation, and AI-generated content evaluation
• Assignments may involve reaction analysis, experimental protocols, analytical data, laboratory scenarios, quality-control questions, and scientific explanations
• Project scope, workload, chemistry topics, and evaluation standards may evolve depending on project requirements
• Work must be completed without using confidential or proprietary information belonging to any employer, client, laboratory, research institution, manufacturer, or other third party
