Analytical Chemistry Specialist

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, which manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for an Analytical Chemistry Specialist – Freelance AI Trainer Project based in Hungary.

• Evaluate AI-generated scientific content: Review responses to theoretical and practical analytical chemistry questions, assessing their factual accuracy, logical consistency, scientific rigor, and relevance to real-world laboratory applications.
• Apply specialized analytical chemistry knowledge: Develop and evaluate scenarios involving spectroscopy, chromatography, electrochemical analysis, quantitative chemical analysis, environmental testing, pharmaceutical analysis, and analytical method development.
• Assess advanced analytical techniques: Challenge AI models on mass spectrometry, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography (GC), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) interpretation, trace analysis, titrimetric methods, and related instrumentation.
• Identify and document model weaknesses: Record reproducible errors, reasoning gaps, inaccurate interpretations, and other failure patterns to support systematic improvements in model performance.
• Contribute to AI training and evaluation: Provide detailed scientific feedback, propose corrections, and recommend improvements to prompts, evaluation criteria, and testing methodologies.
• Support scientific quality assurance: Apply principles of method validation, quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC), and analytical data interpretation to evaluate the reliability of AI-generated outputs.
• Communicate scientific reasoning clearly: Explain conclusions, demonstrate analytical approaches, and document the steps behind technical judgments to help improve model transparency and reliability.

• Education: A PhD in analytical chemistry or a closely related chemical science discipline is preferred. Equivalent advanced expertise supported by relevant professional or research experience may also be valuable.
• Technical expertise: Strong knowledge of analytical chemistry principles, instrumentation, spectroscopy, chromatography, electrochemical methods, quantitative analysis, and analytical method development.
• Research or laboratory experience: Experience in laboratory-based research, analytical method validation, pharmaceutical or environmental testing, instrumentation-intensive studies, or related scientific applications is highly desirable.
• Specialized analytical skills: Familiarity with techniques such as mass spectrometry, HPLC, GC, NMR, trace analysis, titrimetry, and laboratory QA/QC procedures.
• Scientific evaluation skills: Ability to identify factual inaccuracies, assess scientific arguments, interpret experimental scenarios, and distinguish sound conclusions from flawed reasoning.
• Written communication: Excellent technical writing skills and the ability to explain complex scientific concepts clearly, precisely, and logically.
• Analytical thinking: Strong critical-thinking, problem-solving, and attention-to-detail skills, with the ability to break down complex problems and document reproducible findings.
• AI training readiness: Interest in evaluating AI-generated content, identifying model limitations, and contributing to the development of more reliable scientific AI systems.
• Working arrangements: Ability to work independently in a remote freelance environment, manage assignments effectively, and provide a secure computer and reliable high-speed internet connection.

• Competitive hourly compensation: A pay range of $8–$65 per hour, with the final rate determined by expertise, professional experience, and geographic location. The final offer may vary from the advertised range.
• Remote flexibility: Work remotely from India, with the flexibility associated with a freelance contract arrangement.
• Meaningful scientific impact: Help shape AI systems that may support scientific education, research, analytical problem-solving, and laboratory workflows.
• Intellectually stimulating work: Apply advanced analytical chemistry knowledge to challenging scientific questions and emerging AI evaluation tasks.
• Specialized professional contribution: Use your research, instrumentation, and laboratory expertise in an innovative technology-focused environment.
• Independent contractor arrangement: Manage your work in a freelance capacity, subject to project requirements and applicable engagement terms.
• Benefits clarification: This is a contract position. Company-sponsored benefits, including health insurance and paid time off (PTO), are not provided. Contractors are responsible for supplying their own computer and high-speed internet connection.
