About AI Safety Evaluation

AI training is the human work behind modern artificial intelligence. Specialists write prompts, review model responses, and classify content so advanced systems become more accurate, useful, and responsible.

In this role, your scientific judgment will help assess how AI handles sensitive and dual-use information. Your expertise can directly shape the safety and quality of models used for technical questions.

The Role

OpenTrain is seeking a German Scientific AI Safety Evaluator for remote freelance work. You will create expert-level prompts in German across specialized scientific topics, evaluate AI-generated answers, and apply structured classification guidelines.

The work focuses on chemistry, biology, radiological and nuclear science, and related technical areas. You will contribute focused expertise from a specific scientific subfield rather than broad general coverage.

• Remote contractor position
• Default commitment of approximately 7 hours per week
• Part-time schedule of less than 20 hours per week
• Compensation of $58 to $62 per hour
• Applicants in Germany and wider Western Europe are preferred
• Applicants elsewhere are welcome

What You'll Do

You will combine advanced scientific knowledge with careful evaluation of AI-generated content. Work will follow structured guidelines for accuracy, helpfulness, classification, and safe treatment of sensitive information.

• Write expert-level prompts in German on specialized scientific subjects
• Review AI-generated responses for scientific accuracy and helpfulness
• Assess whether responses handle sensitive content safely
• Annotate and classify prompts and conversations using evaluation guidelines
• Apply scientific judgment to chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear topics
• Evaluate technical content involving dual-use information
• Focus your contributions on a specific scientific subfield

Requirements

This opportunity requires PhD-level scientific expertise and the ability to communicate precisely in both German and English. Your background should support careful assessment of laboratory, computational, safety, security, and dual-use considerations.

• Ongoing or completed PhD in chemistry, biology, or a closely related scientific discipline
• Native or near-native German proficiency
• Business-level written English for technical prompt writing
• Deep familiarity with modern laboratory or computational techniques
• Strong scientific judgment about safety, security, and dual-use information
• Ability to write precise technical prompts
• Ability to assess the quality of specialized AI model responses

Relevant Scientific Backgrounds

Relevant expertise may come from a focused scientific subfield rather than from every subject listed below. Experience evaluating technical content or working with safety-sensitive information is particularly useful.

• Organic or inorganic synthesis
• Molecular biology, microbiology, virology, or genetics
• Radiochemistry or nuclear chemistry
• Energetic materials
• Radiation physics
• Chemical safety and security
• Biosafety and biosecurity
• Hazardous-materials handling
• Reviewing, grading, or red-teaming technical content

Who Should Apply

Apply if you have deep expertise in a specific scientific discipline, can write and evaluate technical material in German, and are comfortable making nuanced judgments about scientific accuracy and responsible handling of sensitive information. Radiological and nuclear expertise from a chemistry background is also welcome.
