• Write clear reference solutions, expected reasoning paths, and structured answer explanations
• Ensure submitted work reflects rigorous domain knowledge and high-quality technical standards

Technical Review & Scientific Reasoning

• Review scientific or quantitative outputs for correctness, clarity, completeness, and reasoning quality
• Evaluate assumptions, calculations, methodologies, and conclusions against domain-specific standards
• Identify reasoning gaps, unsupported conclusions, ambiguity, and expected technical outcomes
• Provide structured feedback that helps improve task quality and evaluation consistency

Research-Informed Task Development

• Apply PhD-level research experience to design challenging tasks grounded in real scientific, mathematical, computational, or analytical concepts
• Translate complex domain expertise into clear, structured, evaluable task formats
• Work independently on technical assignments requiring sustained focus and careful written communication
• Maintain accuracy, consistency, and professional judgment across submitted work

Ideal Profile

Strong candidates may have:

• PhD in a STEM field such as mathematics, biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, statistics, economics, engineering, or a related technical discipline

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English
• High attention to detail and strong analytical judgment
• Ability to work independently and deliver high-quality technical outputs
• Comfort working on ongoing remote projects with structured requirements and clear deadlines

Educational Background

• PhD from a U.S., U.K., Canadian, European, or comparable research university in a STEM field is strongly preferred
• Research experience, academic publications, teaching experience, technical writing, or advanced applied work is highly relevant
• Equivalent high-level research or domain expertise may also be relevant depending on project scope

Nice to Have

• Experience creating advanced problem sets, research tasks, technical assessments, or benchmark-style materials
• Background in teaching, tutoring, academic research, peer review, technical evaluation, or scientific writing
• Strong familiarity with mathematical notation, scientific methods, computational reasoning, data analysis, or domain-specific research tools
• Ability to explain complex concepts clearly and precisely
• Availability for approximately 15–20 hours per week, with potential for increased project volume depending on performance and project needs

Why This Opportunity

• Apply PhD-level STEM expertise to structured remote project work
• Contribute to high-quality scientific problem design, technical reasoning review, and advanced analytical task development
• Work on flexible assignments aligned with your academic or research background
• Use your subject matter judgment in a focused, rigorous review environment
• Remote structure with competitive hourly compensation

Contract Details

• Independent contractor role
• Fully remote with flexible scheduling
• Expected commitment of approximately 15–20 hours per week, with potential for expanded availability depending on project needs
• Ongoing project structure with rolling applications
• Competitive rates between $65–$105 per hour depending on expertise
• Weekly payments via Stripe or Wise
• Selected professionals may complete a short interview as part of the process
