Chemistry Expert (PhD/Master's)
Overview
Turing, a San Francisco-based research accelerator, backs frontier AI labs and global enterprises building advanced AI systems. This remote freelance role puts chemistry expertise to work fine-tuning large language models like ChatGPT. You will craft and solve advanced chemistry problems, from postgraduate theory to engineering entrance exam questions, and explain them in plain language. Responses blend text with chemical equations, diagrams, and annotated structures. The position does not include medical or paid leave.
What You'll Do8
- 1Construct and solve advanced chemistry problems, including postgraduate scenarios, to support large language model fine-tuning.
- 2Write clear, step-by-step explanations that simplify complex chemistry concepts for AI training data.
- 3Analyze organic reaction mechanisms and provide annotated chemical structures with detailed textual notes.
- 4Solve chemical equilibrium problems and create reaction progress curves and energy diagrams to accompany explanations.
- 5Tackle engineering entrance exam and college-level questions across stoichiometry, thermodynamics, organic chemistry, and electrochemistry.
- 6Review chemistry content and give constructive feedback plus detailed annotations to preserve quality.
- 7Combine text with images, equations, and visual representations for every explanation you produce.
- 8Manage assigned tasks independently while communicating in a remote collaboration setting.
Requirements9
- 1Pursue or hold a PhD or postdoctoral degree in chemistry, chemical engineering, biochemistry, or a related field.
- 2Demonstrate strong research and analytical skills for complex chemistry problems.
- 3Explain chemistry topics clearly using simple language, visuals, and simulations when appropriate.
- 4Offer constructive feedback and detailed annotations on chemistry materials.
- 5Communicate and collaborate effectively in a remote work environment.
- 6Work independently with minimal oversight while meeting project deadlines.
- 7Maintain a reliable desktop or laptop and a stable internet connection.
- 8Apply creative and lateral thinking to problems that blend text, equations, and diagrams.
- 9Use strong English comprehension skills to read and write detailed chemistry explanations.
Who Should Apply
The ideal candidate for this role has a PhD or postdoctoral background in chemistry or a related field and enjoys turning complicated chemical concepts into clear, visual explanations. They are comfortable working as a remote freelancer and can meet deadlines without constant supervision. This role is less suitable for professionals who need employer-provided benefits or who prefer a structured, office-based team environment. Candidates often score low when they cannot break problems into clear sequential steps or fail to include diagrams and annotated structures in their answers. A weak grasp of postgraduate-level chemistry topics is another common reason for rejection.

Application Tip
Build a short sample that shows how you break down an organic reaction mechanism or an equilibrium problem with labeled structures and step-by-step text. Include that sample in your application to demonstrate the exact mix of textual and visual explanation skills this role demands.
