Computational Chemistry Drug Discovery Scientist

The work You will help train AI systems through expert scientific problem creation and model evaluation. Your work will focus on computational chemistry, structural biology, and drug discovery, with an emphasis on accurate reasoning, reference answers, and explanations that other experts can validate.

• Create challenging scientific problems with clear, verifiable solutions.
• Review AI-generated answers for scientific accuracy, rigor, and depth of reasoning.
• Identify subtle scientific errors that require specialist knowledge.
• Write detailed rubrics and reference answers grounded in research literature.
• Explain evaluation decisions clearly in writing.
• Take part in feedback and peer review cycles.
• Apply research knowledge across molecular modeling, structure prediction, virtual screening, docking, QSAR and ADMET modeling, and proteomics or metabolomics analysis.

What it pays and takes This is a part-time contractor role. The work requires advanced scientific training and the ability to explain complex ideas clearly in written and spoken English.
