What We Offer

~1 min read

Join a leading AI research initiative developing the next generation of AI systems for scientific reasoning. We are seeking accomplished Chemistry Research Collaborators to help advance AI models capable of solving complex chemistry problems at the level of active researchers—not textbooks.

This opportunity is ideal for researchers with expertise in organic synthesis, reaction mechanisms, catalysis, structural and physical chemistry, chemical biology, computational and theoretical chemistry, materials chemistry, or related disciplines. Your research experience will directly contribute to improving AI systems that perform advanced scientific reasoning across frontier chemistry topics.

This is a remote, part-time engagement requiring up to 20 hours per week.

✓Help shape the future of AI-powered scientific reasoning in chemistry.

✓Apply your research expertise to cutting-edge AI evaluation and training initiatives.

✓Collaborate with an accomplished network of researchers across multiple chemistry disciplines.

✓Influence the development of AI systems capable of solving complex scientific and chemical reasoning challenges.
