We are seeking highly skilled researchers with strong backgrounds in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, or Biology to contribute to projects aimed at fine-tuning and evaluating large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT. This is a unique opportunity to apply your advanced STEM expertise while shaping the future of AI.

The ideal candidate is currently pursuing or has completed a Master’s, Ph.D., or Postdoctoral degree at a top-tier university (e.g., top 10 US institutions or globally recognized STEM universities). Candidates must demonstrate the ability to break down complex STEM concepts into simple, clear explanations and provide high-quality reasoning in problem-solving.

Application requirements :

• Thesis title & abstract
• LinkedIn profile link (valid)
• Google Scholar or publications link

• Design and solve challenging STEM problems to evaluate LLM capabilities.
• Create clear, structured, step-by-step solutions with precise reasoning.
• Collaborate with AI researchers to align problems with evaluation goals, focusing on areas where models typically struggle (e.g., abstraction, multi-step reasoning, symbolic manipulation).
• Develop new evaluation benchmarks across STEM curricula (undergraduate to PhD-level topics).
• Provide constructive feedback and detailed annotations to improve model performance.

• Education : Master’s degree completed or currently pursuing and / or holding a Ph.D. or Postdoc in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, or Biology.
• Strong analytical and research skills with the ability to solve complex STEM problems.
• Excellent English comprehension and communication skills.
• Ability to simplify and explain advanced STEM concepts using clear language, structured reasoning, visuals, or simulations.
• Self-motivated, reliable, and able to work independently in a remote environment.
• Good technical setup (desktop / laptop with stable internet).
• Permanent work authorization in the US.

• Graduate or doctoral-level research experience at top-tier institutions (e.g., Ivy League, MIT, Stanford, Caltech, Cambridge, Oxford, ETH Zurich, or equivalent globally recognized universities).
• Strong publication record (peer-reviewed journals, conferences, or thesis work).
• Creative and lateral thinking with proven ability to design challenging, original problems.

• Commitment : Minimum 20 hours / week (at least 4 hours / day overlap with Pacific Time (PST) ). Options to extend up to 30 or 40 hours / week.
• Contract type : Freelance / Independent Contractor (no medical / paid leave).
