Chemistry AI Trainer (Remote, $40 to $125/hr)

Description:

Put your chemistry background to work teaching AI. We're looking for chemists, chemical engineers and chemistry grad students to help DataAnnotation, the AI training platform, evaluate how AI models handle real lab and technical work: analyzing instrument data, designing experiments, investigating deviations and writing up results. It's fully remote, flexible work you can do around classes, research or a current job, including evenings and weekends.

You'll build realistic tasks from your own work, such as an experimental protocol, a data analysis from chromatography or spectroscopy results, or a calculation with stated assumptions. Then you'll grade how AI models handle them and document exactly where they go wrong: unit errors, bad assumptions, conclusions the data doesn't support.

What we're looking for:

  • Bachelor's degree or higher in chemistry, chemical engineering or a closely related field; master's and PhD students are a great fit
  • 2+ years of applied experience outside undergraduate study preferred
  • Hands-on with real data and lab tools: instrument data, lab records, and analysis in Python, R, MATLAB or similar
  • Python or scientific computing is a strong plus and required on some projects
  • Strong written English and familiarity with AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude
  • Based in the US, Canada or UK

Pay and hours: $40 to $125 per hour depending on project and expertise, paid via PayPal. Minimum 10 hours a week on your own schedule, and many projects offer 30 to 40. This is an independent contractor role.

How it works: Apply here on Handshake with your resume. If your background is a fit, you'll get a link to an unpaid online skills assessment (about 1 to 2+ hours). Pass it, and you'll complete onboarding and start on paid projects.

Already with DataAnnotation? If you've already taken a DataAnnotation starter assessment, you aren't eligible for this posting. If you only created an account and haven't taken an assessment, you're welcome to apply.
