About micro1
micro1 is a data lab that helps AI labs & Enterprises train foundational models and agents. We provide frontier evaluations and reinforcement learning environments to improve LLM capabilities, as well as contextual evaluations to monitor and improve AI agents in enterprise settings.
Our AI recruiting agent sources and vets domain experts for our data platform that enables rapid production of high-quality training data. Our research spans high-value, specialized domains (legal, medical, finance, coding, etc.), where expert-level data is the hardest to produce and most valuable for advanced model performance. Our pipeline performance system ensures both quality and velocity.
Role Title: STEM Expert – Chemistry & Computational Chemistry (PhD)
Role Type: Contractor
Location: Remote (Worldwide)
Job Summary: In this role, you’ll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input.
Design, evaluate, and critique chemistry and computational chemistry problems, workflows, and reasoning chains to support AI benchmarking initiatives.
Provide expert-level insights on reaction mechanisms, synthesis planning, spectroscopy analysis, molecular simulations, and electronic structure methods.
Assess and optimize experimental protocols, simulation parameters, and software configurations for accuracy and reproducibility.
Analyze chemical, spectroscopic, and simulation data and provide actionable recommendations.
Leverage domain knowledge to guide the development and validation of chemistry-related AI models and tools.
Communicate complex scientific concepts clearly, both in writing and verbally, to technical and non-technical collaborators.
Document findings, methodologies, and best practices to ensure knowledge transfer across the customer’s team.
Areas of Expertise (we welcome applicants from any of the following):
Organic synthesis & reaction mechanisms
Inorganic & organometallic chemistry
