Chemistry Expert (Italy)

Role overview Design rigorous chemistry problems that test advanced scientific reasoning and computational problem-solving in AI systems. Tasks should have one verifiable answer and a complete, checked solution. Potential subject areas include computational, physical, and analytical chemistry, as well as chemistry workflows involving specialized software.

Responsibilities - Create difficult problems grounded in realistic chemistry workflows. - Make each task deterministic, with a single correct answer and a verified solution. - Develop problems that combine domain knowledge with computational reasoning. - Use Python and, where suitable, chemistry software or simulation packages. - Validate that work is reproducible, technically accurate, and clearly documented. - Write concise, rigorous explanations in English.

Requirements - A master’s or doctoral degree in chemistry or a related field. - Research or industry experience with computational or quantitative chemistry. - Strong Python skills and familiarity with scientific libraries. - A solid grasp of chemical reasoning, modeling, and numerical methods. - Ability to create original challenges beyond routine textbook questions. - Strong attention to detail and clear technical writing.

Nice to have - Experience in computational chemistry, cheminformatics, spectroscopy, molecular modeling, or specialized chemistry software. - Familiarity with simulation or data analysis tools used in professional chemistry workflows. - Experience creating technical evaluation content.

Benefits and work setup - Remote contract work at 10–20 hours per week. - The initial project is expected to last two months, with possible extension. - Compensation is up to US$40 per hour.
