Medicinal Chemistry Expert

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.
