→Expert Evaluation: Review chemistry-related tasks and AI-generated outputs for scientific accuracy, logical consistency, and research-level rigor.
→Identify implausible reaction mechanisms, infeasible chemical reactions, stoichiometric inconsistencies, thermodynamic errors, and incorrect spectral interpretations.
→Problem Design: Develop precise, challenging, research-level chemistry problem statements that reflect real-world scientific and experimental challenges.
→Reference Solutions: Create detailed and scientifically rigorous reference solutions, including chemical equations, reaction mechanisms, calculations, and explanations that establish clear standards for correctness.
→Benchmark Development: Design advanced chemistry problems, evaluation datasets, and benchmarks within your area of specialization to assess and improve AI model capabilities.
→Scientific Assessment: Evaluate AI-generated chemical reasoning, experimental approaches, reaction predictions, and theoretical explanations to distinguish scientifically valid arguments from plausible but incorrect conclusions.
→Research Collaboration: Work with AI researchers and subject matter experts across related scientific disciplines to establish evaluation methodologies and improve model performance.
→Feedback & Calibration: Translate specialized chemical knowledge and expert judgment into structured feedback, evaluation criteria, and measurable quality standards.

Engagement will be on an independent contractor basis.
The position is fully remote and offers flexibility to complete assignments according to your own schedule and project requirements.
