We're running a paid study on the scientific reasoning capabilities of advanced AI models. Our goal is to push the boundaries of AI comprehension in complex disciplines like biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics. By feeding these systems highly rigorous academic scenarios, we can better map their analytical blind spots and logic failures.
You will act as a domain expert, designing original graduate-to-PhD-level problems within your specific field of study. For each problem, you will provide a single exact, verifiable answer alongside a rigorous step-by-step solution. You may also review existing AI-generated responses to identify specific reasoning errors and technical flaws. This work is conducted asynchronously on your own computer, allowing you to carefully craft and evaluate complex academic material.
This project requires deep subject-matter knowledge and strong technical writing skills. We welcome PhD candidates, PhD holders, postdoctoral researchers, university faculty, and other advanced STEM practitioners. Specifically, we are looking for experts in biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, and advanced engineering disciplines who have experience teaching or developing complex academic problems.
- Author original, graduate-level academic problems in your area of STEM expertise.
- Write rigorous, step-by-step solutions that lead to a single verifiable answer.
- Review AI-generated responses to advanced scientific questions.
- Identify and clearly explain specific logic or reasoning errors in technical outputs.
- PhD candidate, PhD holder, postdoc, or faculty member in a STEM field.
- Deep expertise in biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, or engineering.
- Experience solving, teaching, or developing advanced academic problems.
- Strong analytical reasoning and careful technical writing abilities.
- Willingness to complete an initial project-instructions assessment.
- You will be engaged as an independent contractor.
- This is a fully remote opportunity that can be completed on your own schedule.
- Opportunities can be extended, shortened, or concluded early depending on needs and performance.
- Your participation will not involve access to confidential or proprietary information from any employer, client, or institution.
- Payments are processed weekly based on services rendered.
- We are unable to support H1-B or STEM OPT candidates at this time.
