Medicinal Chemistry Expert
Summary
A medicinal chemistry expert reviews and annotates chemical data to train AI models, focusing on drug discovery and synthesis strategies without requiring prior AI experience.
Role Title: Medicinal Chemistry Expert
Role Type: Contractor
Location: Remote
micro1 is engaging Medicinal Chemistry Experts to participate in a diverse and impactful project for a valued customer. 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. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters.
Scope of Work
- Analyze and review complex medicinal chemistry data, reactions, and experimental designs.
- Evaluate and annotate chemical structures, mechanisms of action, and structure-activity relationships (SARs) to provide expert insights.
- Contribute accurate, detailed feedback on molecular properties, compound synthesis strategies, and optimization pathways.
- Assess and refine datasets to ensure quality and relevance for AI model development.
- Identify potential errors, ambiguities, or inconsistencies in chemistry-related content and suggest improvements.
- Collaborate asynchronously with project managers and technical teams to clarify project requirements and submissions.
- Participate in iterative reviews to enhance the fidelity and applicability of data for training advanced AI applications.
Preferred Qualifications
- Advanced degree (PhD or Master's) in Medicinal Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, or a closely related field.
- Extensive experience (5+ years) in medicinal chemistry, drug discovery, or pharmaceutical R&D environments.
- Strong understanding of organic synthesis, molecular design, and SAR analysis.
- Proven ability to interpret and critique experimental data, literature, and patent information.
- Familiarity with cheminformatics platforms, structure drawing tools, and relevant scientific databases.
- Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and scientific communication skills.
- Experience collaborating on interdisciplinary projects or contributing expert knowledge to technology-driven initiatives is a plus.
