Job Description

Mercor is hiring PhD and Master's scientists to author AI evaluation tasks (Sci Code)

Mercor is partnering with leading AI labs on a new benchmark for scientific computing. You will author original, executable research problems that today's frontier models cannot solve.

Domains — depth required in at least two subdomains (with a coding focus)

  • Chemistry — quantum chemistry, computational chemistry

What you'll do

  • Source your own material: a published paper, a Kaggle dataset, an open-source repository, or a scenario you design
  • Write scientific prompts based on the input
  • Build the grading criteria that define a correct answer
  • Calibrate against frontier models — a task ships only when strong models fail it more often than they succeed

Required

  • PhD in chemistry, physical chemistry, theoretical chemistry, computational chemistry, or a closely related field
  • Demonstrated depth in both of the following subdomains: quantum chemistry and computational chemistry
  • Working proficiency in Python, R, or another relevant programming language for scientific computing
  • Comfortable with Git/GitHub and running code in Docker — authoring runs through a pull-request workflow with automated quality checks

Preferred

  • Publications in peer-reviewed journals
  • Prior scientific software or research engineering experience

Engagement

  • Duration: 6 weeks
  • Commitment: part-time, 20+ hours per week
  • Start date: immediate

Process

  1. Upload your resume and application form
  2. A 25-minute conversational interview covering your background, experience, and motivations
  3. Follow up within a few days with next steps and onboarding
