This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Philippines.

📋 Description

• Engage with advanced language models regarding synthetic pathways and inquiries in theoretical chemistry.

• Assess the factual correctness and logical coherence of the responses generated by models.

• Document reproducible error traces and failure modes.

• Propose enhancements to prompt engineering and evaluation criteria.

• Test language models on complex synthetic chemistry subjects to enhance scientific reasoning and the quality of training data.

⛳️ Requirements

• Proficiency in synthetic chemistry, encompassing organic synthesis, design of reaction mechanisms, stereochemistry, retrosynthetic analysis, organometallic chemistry, heterocyclic chemistry, catalysis, and structure–activity relationships.

• Capability to assess multi-step synthesis planning, protecting group strategies, asymmetric catalysis, reagent selection, total synthesis of natural products, reaction optimization, and transformations of functional groups.

• A PhD in chemistry or a closely related field in physical or life sciences is preferred.

• Experience in peer-reviewed publications, laboratory synthesis, or applied chemical development projects indicates a good fit.

• Proficient metacognitive communication skills and the ability to demonstrate your thought process.

• Access to a secure computer and high-speed internet is required.

• Geographic location may influence the final compensation offer.
