Chemistry AI Training Expert

You will help train and benchmark AI systems by designing, evaluating, and critiquing chemistry problems, workflows, and reasoning chains. The work covers experimental chemistry, computational chemistry, analysis, and scientific software.

You will explain complex scientific ideas clearly to both technical and non-technical collaborators. You will also document methods and best practices and provide recommendations that improve chemistry-related AI models and tools.

• Assess reaction mechanisms, synthesis plans, spectroscopy analysis, molecular simulations, and electronic structure methods.
• Review experimental protocols, simulation settings, and scientific software configurations for accuracy and reproducibility.
• Analyze chemical, spectroscopic, and simulation data.
• Support the development and validation of chemistry-focused AI models and tools.
