- 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)
