  • Review technical materials across chemistry subfields such as organic, inorganic, analytical, physical, medicinal, computational chemistry, chemical engineering, or materials science
• Scientific Annotation & Structured Review
  • Apply structured guidelines to classify chemistry prompts, conversations, and model responses
  • Annotate technical content based on scientific accuracy, safety considerations, and project-specific review criteria
  • Provide clear written feedback explaining evaluation decisions and relevant scientific concerns
  • Maintain consistency, precision, and professional judgment across submitted review work
• Chemistry Safety & Responsible Content Assessment
  • Apply sound judgment around chemical safety, security, and responsible handling of dual-use information
  • Evaluate whether chemistry-related responses appropriately manage sensitive, hazardous, or safety-relevant content
  • Support review of materials involving laboratory concepts, computational chemistry, synthesis-related reasoning, or specialized technical topics
  • Maintain a careful, safety-aware approach when reviewing scientific content and response quality

Qualifications

• A completed or ongoing PhD in chemistry or a closely related field
• Deep expertise in one or more chemistry subfields, such as organic, inorganic, analytical, physical, medicinal, or computational chemistry
• Relevant background in chemical engineering, materials science, laboratory research, computational methods, or technical chemistry review
• Strong scientific reasoning and excellent written communication skills in English
• Sound judgment around chemical safety and responsible handling of sensitive scientific information
• Ability to follow structured guidelines and apply consistent evaluation criteria
• Ability to work independently in a remote, project-based environment

Requirements

• A completed or in-progress PhD in chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, or a closely related scientific field is expected
• Research experience involving laboratory methods, computational techniques, synthesis, chemical analysis, safety protocols, or technical scientific writing is highly relevant
• Prior AI or machine learning experience is optional; project workflow guidance may be provided

Benefits

• Apply advanced chemistry expertise to structured remote project work
• Contribute to high-quality scientific response review, chemistry safety evaluation, and technical annotation
• Work on flexible assignments aligned with your research background and scientific judgment
• Use your PhD-level expertise in a focused, safety-aware review environment
• Remote structure with competitive hourly compensation

Contract Details

• Independent contractor role
• Fully remote with flexible scheduling
• Eligible professionals should be based in the United States depending on project needs
• Expected part-time commitment of approximately 15–25 hours per week, with potential flexibility up to 40 hours depending on project scope and availability
• Competitive rates between $55–$65 per hour depending on expertise and project scope
