Chemistry Expert (PhD) — AI Safety

**About the role**

We're hiring PhD‑level chemists to help make advanced AI models safer. You'll apply your scientific expertise to evaluate and strengthen how these models handle specialized chemistry topics. No prior AI/ML experience is required — we'll train you on the workflow.

**What you'll do**

• Write expert‑level prompts across specialized chemistry topics.
• Evaluate and annotate model responses for scientific accuracy, helpfulness, and appropriate handling of sensitive content.
• Apply structured guidelines to classify prompts and conversations.

**What we're looking for**

• A PhD in chemistry or a closely related field — ongoing or completed (e.g., organic, inorganic, analytical, physical, medicinal, or computational chemistry; chemical engineering; materials science).
• Deep familiarity with modern laboratory and computational techniques in your subfield.
• Strong scientific reasoning and writing in English.
• Sound judgment around chemical safety and the responsible handling of dual‑use information.

**Nice to have**

• Research or coursework touching on chemical safety/security, synthesis, or hazardous‑materials handling.
• Experience reviewing, grading, or red‑teaming technical content.

**Project Timeline**

• Start date: Immediate
• Commitment: Part‑time (15–25 hours/week, with flexibility up to 40 hours/week)
