AI Tutor and subject matter expert in biophysical and computational chemistry responsible for designing rigorous chemistry prompts and evaluating AI model outputs to identify scientific reasoning breakdowns. This contract role directly contributes to improving AI model quality and safety in scientific domains.

Key Responsibilities: Create and evaluate complex chemistry prompts across multiple chemistry subfields, apply adversarial prompting strategies to expose model errors, and assess the accuracy and scientific validity of AI-generated responses. Provide calibrated feedback to the team and contribute to quality standards for chemistry-focused AI evaluation.

Skills & Tools: Expert-level knowledge of biophysical chemistry, computational chemistry, molecular simulations, kinetics, and thermodynamics with strong analytical and written communication abilities. Experience with adversarial prompting, AI data annotation, RLHF, and ideally computational chemistry tools (Gaussian, ORCA, MATLAB).

Qualifications: PhD in Chemistry or closely related field with graduate-level expertise across multiple chemistry areas and permanent US residency. Prior hands-on experience in AI data annotation or RLHF required; peer-reviewed publications, teaching experience, and scientific annotation background strongly preferred.
