Why This Role Stands Out
Leverage your PhD in mathematics to author cutting-edge AI evaluation tasks and contribute to groundbreaking scientific computing benchmarks, with competitive hourly compensation and the flexibility of remote work. If you possess a strong coding background in Python or R and expertise in areas like numerical linear algebra or computational finance, you'll thrive in this intellectually stimulating role. Apply today to shape the future of AI!
Quick Overview
Job Description
This role is for one of our clients
Compensation: $70 per hour
We are hiring PhD and Master's scientists to author AI evaluation tasks (Sci Code)
We are 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)
- Mathematics — numerical linear algebra, computational mechanics, computational finance
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 mathematics, applied mathematics, computational mathematics, or a closely related field
- Demonstrated depth in at least two of the following subdomains: numerical linear algebra, computational mechanics, computational finance
- Working proficiency in Python or R 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
- Upload your resume and application form
- A 25-minute conversational interview covering your background, experience, and motivations
- Follow up within a few days with next steps and onboarding
Apply today and put your research expertise to work building the next generation of scientific AI.
We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.
