Source-listed Remote Opportunities

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for STEM PhDs and Postdocs: Problem Creation for AI Reasoning based in India. This remote contract opportunity is designed for advanced STEM experts who want to contribute directly to the development of AI reasoning capabilities. You will create challenging graduate- to PhD-level problems that require genuine scientific and mathematical expertise to solve. Your work will help produce high-quality training data for AI systems handling complex technical questions. You will also develop rigorous, step-by-step solutions and review AI-generated answers for logical or factual errors. The role is fully asynchronous, allowing you to work through an online platform while applying your academic expertise to real AI research workflows. It is particularly suited to PhD candidates, postdoctoral researchers, faculty members, and experienced STEM professionals.

Create original graduate- and PhD-level problems within your specific area of STEM expertise. Design problems that require meaningful scientific, mathematical, or technical reasoning rather than simple recall. Develop rigorous, logically structured, step-by-step solutions leading to a single, verifiable answer. Review AI-generated responses to identify logical reasoning errors, incorrect assumptions, factual inaccuracies, and other technical issues. Evaluate the accuracy and quality of AI-generated scientific or mathematical reasoning using your subject-matter expertise. Apply precise technical writing standards to ensure problems, solutions, explanations, and corrections are clear and unambiguous. Work independently through an online platform and complete assignments asynchronously. Follow project guidelines and quality standards consistently across submitted tasks. Complete an initial project assessment and any required identity verification before participating in paid tasks. Requirements Current PhD candidate, postdoctoral researcher, faculty member, or advanced STEM professional with substantial subject-matter expertise. Deep expertise in one or more relevant disciplines, including biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, or complex engineering fields. Experience teaching, reviewing, researching, or developing advanced academic problems at graduate or higher levels. Strong analytical and critical-thinking skills, with the ability to break complex problems into rigorous logical steps. Excellent technical writing skills and a strong attention to precision, clarity, and factual accuracy. Ability to identify subtle logical, mathematical, scientific, or factual errors in complex AI-generated responses. Strong independent working skills and the ability to manage tasks accurately in an asynchronous remote environment. High standards for academic rigor and a careful approach to verifying technical answers. Willingness to complete identity verification and an initial skills assessment as part of the onboarding process. Comfortable working with online platforms and contributing to AI-focused research and training workflows. Benefits Fully remote contract opportunity. Flexible, asynchronous work completed through an online platform. Opportunity to apply advanced academic and STEM expertise to the development of AI reasoning systems. Direct contribution to high-quality training data for sophisticated AI models. Work that combines scientific expertise, problem-solving, technical writing, and AI evaluation. Compensation of $112 per completed task . Opportunity to participate in an ongoing project rather than a traditional fixed-term employment structure. Suitable for researchers, academics, and STEM professionals seeking flexible project-based work.
