STEM PhDs and Researchers: Advanced Problem Creation for AI

Role Summary

What We're Researching

We are running a paid study on the scientific reasoning capabilities of advanced AI models. Our goal is to push the boundaries of how these systems handle complex, PhD-level problems in biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics. This work directly feeds into developing more accurate and reliable technical reasoning engines.

How It Works

You will create original, graduate-to-PhD-level academic problems within your specific area of STEM expertise. For each problem, you must provide a single verifiable answer along with a rigorous, step-by-step written solution. You may also be asked to review AI-generated responses to identify specific logical or factual reasoning errors. The workflow requires careful technical writing and a deep commitment to academic accuracy.

Who This Is For

We are hiring individuals with deep subject-matter knowledge and strong analytical reasoning skills in STEM fields. We welcome PhD candidates, postdoctoral researchers, university faculty, and industry professionals with equivalent advanced academic backgrounds. Candidates must have extensive experience solving, teaching, or developing rigorous technical problems in biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, or engineering.
