Applied Chemistry Benchmark Specialist

We are looking for Applied Chemistry Benchmark Specialist candidates for a project delivered through the hiring partner.

What you'll do

  • Create original, challenging multiple-choice questions in your area of chemistry expertise, rate their difficulty, and submit them for review.
  • Review pre-written questions for accuracy, clarity, and rigor.
  • Edit questions where needed, rate difficulty, and document any changes made.
  • Author original chemistry questions that test deep conceptual understanding, not surface-level recall.
  • Ensure questions are unambiguous, self-contained, and precisely defined — all necessary information must be in the problem statement.
  • Rate each question's difficulty: Medium (intro undergraduate), Hard (advanced undergraduate), or Expert (post-graduate and above).
  • Provide 1 correct answer and 9 plausible but subtly incorrect alternatives that challenge expert-level solvers.
  • Write step-by-step Chain-of-Thought solutions with clear, concise intermediate steps in markdown format.
  • Supply 1–5 academic references per question from reputable sources (peer-reviewed journals, university repositories).
  • For verification tasks: flag issues with clarity, completeness, precision, or solvability and justify any edits made.

What you need

  • PhD or doctoral candidate in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Chemical Engineering, or a closely related field.
  • Master's degree considered for candidates with exceptional depth in a specific subdomain.
  • Strong command of graduate-level chemistry concepts, reaction mechanisms, and quantitative analysis.
  • Excellent written English and ability to express complex ideas clearly and concisely.

Nice to have

  • Experience with rigorous academic problem design or chemistry olympiad writing.
