STEM Expert

Position: STEM Expert

Type: Contractor (~15 hours/week)

Compensation: $80–$150/hour

Location: Remote

About the Opportunity
This opportunity is for highly skilled STEM and scientific-domain experts to contribute to an AI training project focused on technical problem-solving, scientific reasoning, data analysis, and Python-based workflows.
In this role, you'll solve, review, and validate challenging problems within your area of expertise. Tasks may involve analyzing scientific or mathematical problems, developing rigorous solutions, using Python for calculations or simulations, and evaluating whether AI-generated answers are technically correct.
This is a coding-heavy role. Candidates should have experience using Python and coding agents as part of their technical workflow.
You are not expected to be an expert across every STEM discipline — deep expertise in at least one relevant scientific or quantitative field is required.
Key Responsibilities
• Solve complex scientific, mathematical, and technical problems within your area of expertise.




• Review AI-generated solutions for factual, mathematical, and scientific correctness.
• Identify incorrect assumptions, reasoning errors, missing constraints, and technical mistakes.
• Develop explicit, rigorous, and reproducible reference solutions.
• Use Python for scientific computation, data analysis, simulations, and solution validation.
• Interpret equations, experimental results, datasets, technical diagrams, and scientific literature where relevant.
• Perform sanity checks and validate numerical or analytical results.
• Compare alternative solution approaches and determine whether conclusions are supported by the available evidence.
• Clearly explain technical reasoning, errors, and corrections.

Required Qualifications
• Strong expertise in at least one relevant STEM or scientific domain.
• Practical proficiency with Python.
• Strong scientific, mathematical, or quantitative problem-solving ability.
• Ability
