About The Position

We are sharing a specialised opportunity for advanced STEM researchers and graduate-level experts to contribute to large language model evaluation and training through challenging scientific problem design, rigorous reasoning, and high-quality solution development. Selected professionals will design and solve complex STEM problems, develop structured step-by-step explanations, identify areas where advanced AI systems struggle, and collaborate with research teams on evaluation strategies and benchmarks. The work is especially relevant to candidates with strong backgrounds in physics, mathematics, biology, chemistry, applied physics, or related disciplines.

Requirements

  • Currently pursuing or holding a Master's, Ph.D., or postdoctoral position in a STEM field
  • Background in Physics, Applied Physics, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, or a related discipline
  • Strong analytical and research capabilities
  • Ability to solve complex quantitative and conceptual problems
  • Strong foundation in advanced STEM reasoning
  • Ability to break difficult concepts into clear explanations
  • Comfortable with abstraction and multi-step reasoning
  • Strong logical and structured problem-solving skills
  • Ability to provide detailed annotations and constructive feedback
  • Creative and lateral thinking abilities
  • Excellent written English communication
  • Strong remote collaboration skills
  • Self-motivated and able to work independently
  • Reliable desktop or laptop setup with a stable internet connection
  • Ability to explain technical concepts using simple language, visuals, and scientific reasoning where appropriate

Responsibilities

  • Design challenging problems across advanced STEM domains
  • Create tasks that probe limitations in model reasoning
  • Develop problems requiring abstraction and multi-step analysis
  • Incorporate symbolic or quantitative reasoning where appropriate
  • Maintain appropriate difficulty across undergraduate through doctoral-level topics
  • Solve complex STEM problems accurately and efficiently
  • Produce clear step-by-step solutions
  • Explain assumptions and intermediate reasoning explicitly
  • Structure solutions for ease of evaluation and review
  • Apply rigorous analytical methods throughout problem-solving workflows
  • Evaluate how large language models respond to advanced STEM tasks
  • Identify recurring weaknesses in reasoning and problem decomposition
  • Analyse errors involving abstraction, symbolic manipulation, or multi-step logic
  • Distinguish conceptual mistakes from calculation or interpretation errors
  • Provide structured observations to support model improvement
  • Help define new STEM evaluation benchmarks
  • Align problem design with specific research objectives
  • Contribute tasks spanning different levels of technical difficulty
  • Refine evaluation criteria based on observed model behaviour
  • Support consistent assessment across complex reasoning scenarios
  • Collaborate remotely with AI researchers and technical contributors
  • Explain STEM concepts in clear and accessible language
  • Provide constructive feedback and detailed annotations
  • Communicate analytical findings in a structured format
  • Work independently while maintaining reliable project delivery

Benefits

  • No medical or paid-leave benefits are included under the stated contractor arrangement
