About this role
Role Overview
Help develop rigorous chemistry benchmarks that support AI research by creating and reviewing advanced academic assessment content. This role focuses on challenging multiple-choice questions across materials, 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- Create original, challenging multiple-choice questions within your chemistry specialty, assess their difficulty, and submit them for review.
- Review existing questions for scientific accuracy, clarity, rigor, completeness, precision, and solvability; revise them as needed and document the rationale for changes.
- Design questions that assess deep conceptual understanding rather than surface-level recall.
- Ensure every question is self-contained, unambiguous, and precisely defined, with all necessary information included in the prompt.
- Classify difficulty as Medium, introductory undergraduate; Hard, advanced undergraduate; or Expert, postgraduate and above.
- Provide one correct answer and nine plausible, subtly incorrect alternatives designed to challenge expert-level solvers.
- Write clear, concise, step-by-step solutions with intermediate reasoning in Markdown.
- Include one to five academic references per question from reputable sources, such as peer-reviewed journals and university repositories.
- PhD or doctoral-candidate status in chemistry, biochemistry, chemical engineering, or a closely related discipline.
- A master''s degree may be considered for candidates with exceptional depth in a particular chemistry subdomain.
- Strong graduate-level knowledge of 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 engagement.
- Expected commitment of at least 10 hours per week.
$61 to $77 per hour.
