Chemistry Expert

Overview

Handshake is recruiting exceptional doctoral students, candidates, and graduates in Chemistry to join our AI research community. This program brings subject‑matter experts together to enhance the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) within specialized domains and subdomains. The Handshake AI Fellowship program runs year‑round, though project availability will vary by domain.

• Fully remote, asynchronous position – work independently from anywhere on your own schedule.
• Learn new skills while contributing to the changing world of AI across various disciplines.
• Get paid competitively to apply your domain expertise in chemistry.
• Project work includes designing and solving advanced chemistry problems that require multi‑step reasoning, and testing them with AI models to ensure they are appropriately challenging.

• Doctoral students and graduates (including those currently enrolled or in postdoctoral positions) in Chemistry.
• Able to participate in primarily asynchronous work in partnership with leading AI labs.
• Believe your expertise can outmatch current AI systems in understanding and explaining key concepts in your field.

Program is open to U.S.

-based doctoral students, candidates, and recent graduates with valid work or training authorization (e.g., F‑1/OPT, J‑1, H‑1B). Participants must ensure compliance with their visa conditions and confirm eligibility with their program or visa sponsor prior to applying.

• At this time, we are unable to accommodate candidates on STEM OPT who require an i‑983. Fellows with already approved i‑983s, as well as those on pre‑grad OPT, CPT, J‑1, or H‑1B, are not impacted. This position may be subject to change in the future.
