Chemical Safety & Toxicology Expert

About this role

The company is engaging Chemical Safety & Toxicology Experts to contribute to a customer's project focused on enhancing chemical safety evaluation frameworks. 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. This opportunity is tailored for professionals with proven backgrounds in chemical weapons nonproliferation, hazardous materials, toxicology, and industrial chemistry—especially those experienced with controlled-substance risks, regulatory protocols, or chemical-risk assessment. Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, are highly valued as you will provide nuanced insights and feedback throughout the engagement.

Skills

Key responsibilities

• Analyze and evaluate data related to chemical safety, toxicological risk, precursor chemicals, and hazardous-substance scenarios.
• Review, annotate, and provide critical feedback on documents, datasets, and model outputs related to chemical weapons, toxicology, and hazardous materials.
• Contribute expert perspectives on nonproliferation standards, regulatory protocols, and safety operations for chemical handling and risk mitigation.
• Develop and refine guidelines for the assessment of chemical and toxicological hazards in realistic and hypothetical situations.
• Interpret and explain the implications of chemical interactions, exposure risks, and toxicity profiles for AI training purposes.
• Collaborate remotely with project coordinators, providing written and verbal clarifications or additional context as needed.
• Identify gaps or inaccuracies in content or model assessments pertaining to chemical safety and toxicology topics.

Preferred qualifications

• Advanced degree (PhD, MD, JD, PsyD, or relevant master's) in chemistry, toxicology, industrial hygiene, or closely related disciplines.
• Minimum 5 years of specialized experience in areas such as chemical weapons nonproliferation, hazardous materials handling, toxicological risk assessment, or chemical safety protocols.
• Experience as an independent consultant, policy advisor, response specialist, or safety officer in industry, government, or research settings.
• Expertise in controlled substances, precursor risk evaluation, or nonproliferation regulatory frameworks.
• Demonstrated ability to communicate complex technical information effectively in both written and verbal formats.
• Familiarity with standards for chemical safety, hazardous material management, or toxicology operations in high-stakes environments.
• Interest in supporting AI advancement through the application of domain expertise to new and emerging technology platforms.
