About the role

About the role: We're hiring PhD‑level chemists to help make advanced AI models safer. You'll apply your scientific expertise to evaluate and strengthen how these models handle specialized chemistry topics. No prior AI/ML experience is required — we'll train you on the workflow.

What you'll do: Write expert‑level prompts across specialized chemistry topics. Evaluate and annotate model responses for scientific accuracy, helpfulness, and appropriate handling of sensitive content. Apply structured guidelines to classify prompts and conversations.

What we're looking for: A PhD in chemistry or a closely related field — ongoing or completed (e.g., organic, inorganic, analytical, physical, medicinal, or computational chemistry; chemical engineering; materials science). Deep familiarity with modern laboratory and computational techniques in your subfield. Strong scientific reasoning and writing in English. Sound judgment around chemical safety and the responsible handling of dual‑use information.

Nice to have: Research or coursework touching on chemical safety/security, synthesis, or hazardous‑materials handling. Experience reviewing, grading, or red‑teaming technical content.

Project Timeline Start date: Immediate Commitment: Part‑time (15–25 hours/week, with flexibility up to 40 hours/week)

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
