Chemistry Specialist is contract work for micro1, reviewing and correcting what AI models produce in science & research. The output of the job is expert judgement written down: a model gives an answer, someone who knows the subject decides whether it is right and explains why.
What it requires. This role is gated on phd or academic credential. Applications without it are not considered, and the requirement is stated here because the original advert usually carries it well below the rate.
What it pays. USD 70 to USD 90 an hour, as published by micro1. Rates in this category track how rare the credential is rather than how hard the work is.
