About this role
Job Type: Contractor
Location: Remote(Worldwide)
Opportunity Snapshot
Pay: $45 - $90/hour
Commitment: Flexible — fits alongside your current role
Location: Fully remote
You’ll need: A completed PhD in a STEM field, plus hands-on research experience
Your tasks: Build difficult technical problems from your own research and define what makes an answer correct
These tasks are hard to build, and that’s the point. We’re looking for people with genuine depth in their field: the problems where the textbook answer isn’t enough, where the right approach depends on reading the constraints correctly, where a plausible-looking answer is quietly wrong.
What you’ll do
- Design difficult technical problems drawn from your own research area, with realistic constraints and supporting data.
- Provide the correct solution and walk through the reasoning that gets there.
- Define objective criteria for correctness, so another researcher reviewing the work would reach the same verdict.
- Review problems built by other contributors for technical accuracy and soundness of method.
- Flag problems that turn out to be ambiguous or ungradable rather than submitting them.
What we’re looking for
- Completed PhD in a STEM field. This is a hard requirement.
