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.
Requirements
- medicinal chemistry
- Must be eligible to work in Remote

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I apply to Micro1 from outside the US or UK?
Yes. Micro1 accepts applicants from most countries worldwide, unlike DataAnnotation or Outlier, both of which cap access to a handful of English-speaking countries. Most roles still require strong written and spoken English.
Does Micro1 monitor your computer while you work?
On many projects, yes, through time-tracking tools that take periodic screenshots to verify active hours. Check the specific project's requirements before accepting if desktop monitoring is a dealbreaker.
What does the Micro1 application process look like?
Expect a screening interview with Zara, Micro1's AI recruiter. Prepare for it like a real video call: good lighting, clear audio, verbal answers to technical questions. A human manager reviews the recording afterward, and some roles add a short skills assessment on top.
What does task-based AI training work actually look like?
Practical, hands-on data work: recording short videos, categorizing images, rating text responses, or analyzing data. Tasks are designed to be short and distinct, typically 5 to 60 minutes each.
What does asynchronous AI training work mean in practice?
No set hours, no check-ins, no meetings. You log in when you want, pick up an available task, complete it, and submit; nobody is waiting on you in real time. That's different from remote employment, where you're expected online during business hours. The tradeoff: you're competing with others for available tasks, so an empty queue means there's simply nothing to do until more work is released.
What does Business work look like for a Medicinal Chemistry Expert?
Tasks here are scoped to Business, not generic labeling. As a Medicinal Chemistry Expert, expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to Business) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on Business background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.
What does the 'openings' count on this listing mean?
It's Micro1's live count of how many candidates it's still trying to place for this specific role, 30 right now, not a countdown on your individual application. A higher number signals more active demand; it doesn't lower the bar for acceptance.
What happens when I click Apply on this listing?
You'll be taken to Micro1's external site to complete your application there. This listing links through a referral, but the process is identical to applying directly; the link just routes you correctly. Create an account on their site and follow their onboarding steps.
