About this role
Help develop rigorous academic chemistry assessments that support an AI research initiative. You will create or verify advanced multiple-choice questions, assess their difficulty and solution quality, and contribute to benchmark content across specialized chemistry domains.
Chemistry DomainsMaterials, polymer and electronic chemistry; industrial and process chemistry; energy storage and environmental chemistry; pharmaceutical and agrochemical chemistry; and consumer, food and specialty chemicals.
Key Responsibilities- Complete either question-authoring or question-verification assignments.
- For authoring assignments, create original, challenging multiple-choice questions within your chemistry specialty, rate their difficulty, and submit them for review.
- Design questions that test deep conceptual understanding rather than surface-level recall.
- Ensure every question is unambiguous, self-contained and precisely defined, with all required information included in the problem statement.
- Classify question difficulty as Medium, introductory undergraduate; Hard, advanced undergraduate; or Expert, postgraduate and above.
- Provide one correct answer and nine plausible, subtly incorrect alternatives that challenge expert-level solvers.
- Write step-by-step solutions with clear, concise intermediate reasoning in Markdown format.
- Include one to five academic references per question from reputable sources, such as peer-reviewed journals and university repositories.
- For verification assignments, review existing questions for accuracy, clarity and rigor; identify issues with clarity, completeness, precision or solvability; edit as needed; assign a difficulty rating; and document and justify all changes.
- PhD or doctoral candidacy in chemistry, biochemistry, chemical engineering or a closely related field.
- A master''s degree may be considered for candidates with exceptional depth in a specific chemistry subdomain.
- Strong command of graduate-level chemistry concepts, reaction mechanisms and quantitative analysis.
- Experience designing rigorous academic problems or writing chemistry olympiad questions is a strong advantage.
- Excellent written English and the ability to communicate complex ideas clearly and concisely.
- Fully remote, asynchronous hourly work.
- Expected commitment of at least 10 hours per week.
$61 to $77 per hour.
