• $100–$400 per hour
• 100% remote
• Part-time
• Fully flexible schedule
Evaluate computer science and computational physics research produced by AI models, on your own schedule.
AI training work uses human review to help systems learn from difficult research examples. Principal research scientists test proofs, algorithms and simulations, verify results, and explain technical findings so models can improve. This is remote, part-time contractor work on a flexible schedule.
What you'll do
• Set hard open problems, theoretical limits and simulation tasks for AI models to attempt
• Lead research work that uses proofs, algorithms, numerical methods and high-performance computing
• Verify model results by checking proofs, rerunning computations and applying formal methods
• Compare results with the current literature and write short memos on partial progress and repeated model failures
Why this is worth your time
• Earn $100–$400 an hour assessing research produced by AI models in computer science and computational physics
• Decide whether model results hold up through proof checks, reruns of computations and reproducible simulations
• Apply your research judgment to show where AI models fail and which open problems they may help advance
• Fully remote and flexible, no fixed shifts, no commute
Who this is for
• 7 to 10 or more years of active research experience in computer science or mathematical or computational physics
• Strong scholarly contributions and recent publications in leading venues
• Hands-on experience with simulation, numerical analysis, algorithmic implementation or high-performance computing
• Deep research judgment, with the ability to assess technical work outside your own area of expertise
• Professional fluency in English
• Preferred: a record of resolving named open problems or introducing concepts that peers have adopted
• No AI experience needed. Helpful background may include research awards, program committees, editorial work, formal tools such as Lean, Coq, SAT or SMT solvers, or public work on advanced AI systems.
Pay and details
• $100–$400 per hour, paid hourly as an independent contractor
• Part-time, flexible schedule; fully remote; eligible in the 52 countries listed in the job record
