[Hiring] AI Tutor, Biophysical & Computational Chemistry Specialist @Handshake

Role Description

We're looking for a Biophysical & Computational Chemistry Specialist to serve as a subject matter expert on AI model evaluation projects. You'll design rigorous chemistry prompts, assess model outputs at an expert level, and help identify where models break down in scientific reasoning.

• Create and evaluate complex chemistry prompts across biophysical chemistry, computational chemistry, molecular simulations, kinetics, and thermodynamics.
• Apply adversarial prompting strategies to induce and document model reasoning errors.
• Critically assess the accuracy, depth, and scientific validity of AI-generated responses.
• Contribute to quality standards and provide calibrated feedback to the broader team.

Qualifications

• PhD in Chemistry or a closely related field.
• Graduate-level expertise across multiple areas of Chemistry.
• Permanently based in the US.
• Prior hands-on experience in AI data annotation or RLHF.
• Excellent written communication and analytical skills.

Requirements

• Publications in peer-reviewed chemistry or physics journals.
• Experience with adversarial prompting, model evaluation, or AI red teaming strongly preferred.
• Teaching, tutoring, or curriculum development experience in physical chemistry or theoretical sciences.
• Experience with computational chemistry tools (e.g., Gaussian, ORCA, MATLAB).
• Background in scientific annotation or technical quality assurance.

Benefits

• Fully remote (no visa sponsorship available).
• Flexible hours — contribute as much or as little as you’d like each week. (No minimum hours per week, capped at 40hrs/week.)
