Key Responsibilities:
Solve complex scientific, mathematical, or technical problems within your domain.
Review AI-generated solutions for scientific, mathematical, and factual accuracy.
Identify reasoning errors, incorrect assumptions, missing constraints, and technical mistakes.
Develop clear and reproducible reference solutions.
Use Python for scientific computation, data analysis, simulations, and validation.
Interpret equations, datasets, experimental results, technical diagrams, and scientific literature where relevant.
Perform sanity checks and validate analytical or numerical results.
Clearly explain technical reasoning, corrections, and conclusions.
Required Qualifications:
Strong expertise in at least one relevant STEM or scientific domain, such as Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, Earth/Environmental Science, or Robotics.
Practical proficiency with Python and coding agents.
Strong scientific, mathematical, or quantitative problem-solving skills.
Ability to evaluate assumptions, constraints, edge cases, and sources of error.
Experience validating, reviewing, or troubleshooting technical work.
Ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly.
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience with scientific Python tools such as NumPy, SciPy, pandas, SymPy, or Jupyter.
Background in academic research, industry, teaching, engineering, or independent technical work.
Experience evaluating AI-generated technical or scientific outputs.
Compensation:
Competitive compensation of $80–$150/hour.
Output-based compensation, with payment per task that meets project specifications.
Approximately 15 hours per week with a flexible schedule.
Experts can choose their working hours and days, including weekends.10 positions available.
