AI Tutor, Biophysical & Computational Chemistry Specialist (contract), Handshake AI

We're looking for a Biophysical & Computational Chemistry Specialist to to serve as a subject matter expert on AI model evaluation projects. You'll design rigorous chemistry prompts, assess model outputs at an expert level, and help identify where models break down in scientific reasoning

• →

  Create and evaluate complex chemistry prompts across biophysical chemistry, computational chemistry, molecular simulations, kinetics and thermodynamics

• →

  Apply adversarial prompting strategies to induce and document model reasoning errors

• →

  Critically assess the accuracy, depth, and scientific validity of AI-generated responses

• →

  Contribute to quality standards and provide calibrated feedback to the broader team

• PhD in Chemistry or a closely related field

• Graduate-level expertise across multiple areas of Chemistry

• Prior hands-on experience in AI data annotation or RLHF

• Excellent written communication and analytical skills

• Based out of the US, Canada, Mexico, UK, or Spain

• Publications in peer-reviewed chemistry or physics journals.

• Experience with adversarial prompting, model evaluation, or AI red teaming strongly preferred

• Teaching, tutoring, or curriculum development experience in physical chemistry or theoretical sciences.

• Experience with computational chemistry tools (e.g., Gaussian, ORCA, MATLAB).

• Background in scientific annotation or technical quality assurance.

• Location: Fully remote (no visa sponsorship available)

• Schedule: Flexible hours — contribute as much or as little as you’d like each week. (No minimum hours per week, capped at 40hrs/week.)
