PhD Drug Discovery, Structural Biology & Computational Chemist — Scientific & Engineering AI (Remote AI Evaluation Contract)

Join Jobtacular as a remote PhD Drug Discovery, Structural Biology & Computational Chemist — Scientific & Engineering AI (Remote AI Evaluation Contract) ($45 - $90/hour). We partner with leading AI research laboratories across major English-speaking markets to evaluate complex responses, design realistic domain scenarios, and calibrate next-generation foundation models using deep professional expertise in Computational Chemistry, Structural Bioinformatics, Cheminformatics, Proteomics & Metabolomics.

What You Will Do

• Audit, critique, and score AI model outputs for scientific accuracy, rigor, and depth of reasoning, identifying subtle errors that non-specialists would miss.
• Construct comprehensive grading rubrics and gold-standard solutions anchored in the primary literature and established methodology..
• Apply domain expertise across areas such as molecular modeling and simulation, protein structure prediction and design, virtual screening and docking, QSAR/ADMET modeling, and proteomics/metabolomics data analysis.
• Supply detailed, transparent written explanations of your reasoning, so that other experts can follow and validate it.
• Meet quality standards through iterative feedback and peer review cycles.
• PhD in Computational Chemistry, Structural Biology, Biophysics, Bioinformatics, Medicinal Chemistry, Biochemistry, or a closely related field.
• Practical laboratory or applied research background in an academic or industry lab (wetlab experience is a plus).

Who We Are Looking For

• Docking and virtual screening: AutoDock, Glide, Schrödinger Suite, MOE.
• Cheminformatics: RDKit, QSAR/QSPR, ADMET prediction, fingerprinting, library design.
• Proteomics and metabolomics: LC-MS/MS, MaxQuant, DIA/DDA workflows, PTM analysis, untargeted metabolomics.
• Programming: Python (required in practice), plus R, Bash, or similar; experience with ML for molecular property prediction (GNNs, generative models) is a plus.
• Practical background using benchmarking, model evaluation, or scientific writing/reviewing.
• Ability to explain complex scientific concepts clearly and precisely in writing.
• Compensation Band: $45 - $90/hour
