Bengaluru, Karnataka, India MERCOR Full time US$ 6,000 - US$ 8,000 per year

1. Role Overview

Mercor is collaborating with a leading AI research lab on a project to advance frontier chemistry problem-solving. We are looking for chemistry experts who hold a PhD or Master's degree, or have experience participating in the International Chemistry Olympiad (IChO). The goal of this project is to create novel, clear, and challenging Olympiad-style chemistry problems that cause the frontier AI models to fail (i.e. generate an incorrect response) and support the training of cutting-edge AI models.

This is a short-term, high impact, remote opportunity for those excited about applying their expertise to frontier AI research, with the possibility of extension based on performance.

2. Key Responsibilities

  • Write original & advanced IChO-style chemistry problems to challenge frontier AI models
  • Evaluate AI-generated solutions for correctness, clarity and style and identify where models fail
  • Identify logical flaws, incomplete reasoning, or insufficiently-rigorous proofs
  • Provide clear, concise, and correct solutions & chain of thought reasoning using proper LaTeX formatting
  • Maintain extremely high standards of precision and problem difficulty

3. Required Qualifications

Note: Applicants must be highly proficient in writing and formatting documents using LaTeX

You are a good fit for the project if you have any of the following experiences:

  • Have a Master's or PhD in chemistry (or a related field), or are an Olympiad participant or medalist in the IChO (preferred) or equivalent competitions (AsChO, EChO, EUSO, IJSO, NChO, UKChO, USNCO, CCO, INChO, RChO and MChO).

Other qualifications:

  • Deep understanding of your domain's core theoretical and experimental concepts
  • Ability to articulate reasoning and derivations clearly in written form
  • Strong ability to evaluate the rigor and complexity of chemistry problems
  • Rigorous attention to detail in verifying solutions

4. More About the Opportunity

  • Expected commitment: 20 hours/week minimum; up to 40 hours/week available
  • Approximate project length: ~2 months, with extension potential
  • Rolling start dates; setup typically within 1–2 days of approval

5. Compensation & Contract Terms

  • $60-80/hr dependent on experience + performance
  • Open to contributors worldwide (English proficiency required)
  • Independent contractor engagement
  • Payments issued weekly via Stripe Connect

6. Application Process

  • Submit your resume or CV highlighting chemistry background and relevant achievements
  • Complete a brief interview (20–30 minutes)
  • Submit a short form detailing your experience writing problems and competing in chemistry competitions
  • Selected applicants will be contacted within a few days with next steps
