PhD Scientist, Part-Time AI STEM Problem Evaluation - Remote (United States)
OpenTrain AICreate and review difficult STEM problems from your own research area for AI training, on your own schedule.
AI systems are tested with hard technical problems, and those problems need to be written and checked by researchers who know the science. This project needs PhD scientists to create difficult problems from their own research area, set clear criteria for judging an answer, and review other contributors' problems for accuracy. They also explain the errors in solution paths that look reasonable but fail. This is that work, done remotely around your schedule.
What you'll do
• Create difficult technical problems from your STEM research area, with realistic constraints, supporting data and a defensible solution
• Write clear, objective grading criteria for each problem, so a reviewer in your field can mark an answer right or wrong
• Read through problems written by other contributors, checking the science and the methods, and flag any that are ambiguous or can't be graded reliably
• Spot approaches that look reasonable but are wrong, and explain the subtle errors in them
Why this is worth your time
• Get paid $45–$90 an hour
• Put your research expertise to work on difficult problems drawn from your own STEM field
• Read and critique problems written by other researchers in your field
• Fully remote and flexible, no fixed shifts, no commute
Who this is for
• PhD completed in a STEM field
• Hands-on research background: computational or theoretical work, or wet-lab work in an academic, industrial or national lab
• Fluent in English, and able to show your reasoning clearly enough for a peer to check your technical conclusions
• No AI experience needed.
