What You'll Do4
- 1Craft expert-level prompts covering a wide range of specialized chemistry subfields.
- 2Review and score model outputs for scientific correctness, clarity, and appropriate handling of sensitive or dual-use information.
- 3Follow structured guidelines to categorize prompts and conversations for model training and evaluation.
- 4Apply your chemistry expertise to identify potential safety risks in AI-generated content and flag them for improvement.
Requirements4
- 1A PhD in chemistry or a very closely related discipline (e.g., organic, inorganic, analytical, physical, medicinal, or computational chemistry; chemical engineering; materials science).
- 2In-depth familiarity with both modern laboratory and computational techniques within your specialty.
- 3Strong scientific reasoning and clear writing in English, with the ability to explain complex concepts concisely.
- 4Sound judgment regarding chemical safety and responsible handling of dual-use information.
Who Should Apply
This role is ideal for a current or recent chemistry PhD who enjoys applying deep scientific thinking to real-world challenges. You're detail-oriented, comfortable writing technical content, and interested in shaping how AI handles specialized knowledge—especially around safety and ethics. No background in artificial intelligence is required, just a passion for rigorous science.
Salary Insight
Pay is $65–$70 per hour for a part-time commitment of 15–25 hours per week (with flexibility to go up to 40 hours).
Application Tip
In your cover letter or application, highlight a specific instance where you applied your chemistry expertise to evaluate safety or dual-use concerns—for example, a research project on hazardous materials or a review of technical content for accuracy.
