The work

Help evaluate how AI models handle difficult problems in formal methods, computational science, or a relevant scientific field. The focus is on research, technical judgment, and clear written feedback, not production engineering.

  • Design realistic technical scenarios and problem sets in your area of expertise.
  • Write expert-level reference solutions and grading rubrics.
  • Review AI-generated answers for correctness, depth, and sound use of subject knowledge.
  • Explain your technical judgments in clear, structured feedback.

Requirements and work details

  • Education: A PhD or doctorate in a relevant scientific or computational field.
  • Experience: At least 10 years in your field, with current or recent hands-on work.
  • Expertise: Formal methods, computational science, mathematics, physics, chemistry, or biology.
  • Communication: Strong written English for technical explanations and structured feedback.
  • Work style: Able to work independently, asynchronously, and remotely.
  • Time: 20+ hours per week.
  • Location: Remote, but open only to candidates in eligible countries; the role is not worldwide.
  • Employment type: Part-time contractor.
  • Pay: Not specified in the role details.

Helpful experience

Research publications, open-source contributions, recognized work in your field, or experience reviewing technical work are useful.

  • Relevant review work may include peer review, code review, grading, or editing.
  • Specialist experience may include formal methods or theorem proving with Lean or Coq, computational biology or genomics, or condensed-matter or quantum physics.
