Chemistry Expert (PhD, Master's, or Olympiad Participants)

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
