Job description

Mathematics PhD Research Expert - Remote, Project-Based

Role overview

We are seeking researchers with a completed PhD in Mathematics to support rigorous, task-based mathematical research and expert evaluation. This is a fully remote freelance engagement. Each completed and accepted task pays USD 150 and is expected to take approximately 3-4 hours. The duration of the overall project is yet to be disclosed; no minimum task volume is guaranteed.

Essential eligibility

• A completed PhD in Mathematics is mandatory. Closely related degrees do not replace this requirement.
• At least one mathematics-focused, peer-reviewed journal article or refereed conference-proceedings paper published between 5 August 2025 and 5 August 2026, inclusive.
• The exact title, publication date, venue, and peer-reviewed status must be independently verifiable through the journal, publisher, proceedings, DOI/Crossref record, or another authoritative publication source.
• A manuscript available only on arXiv, ResearchGate, SSRN, or a personal profile is not sufficient without a confirmed peer-reviewed journal or conference-proceedings publication.
• Interdisciplinary publications are eligible only where the mathematical contribution is primary and demonstrable.

Selection

Candidates will be evaluated first by recency of their most recent confirmed eligible paper, then by mathematical substance and role relevance, and finally by recent Naukri profile activity. Publication title, date, peer-reviewed venue, and mathematical contribution must be confirmable. Ties after these criteria will be flagged for human review.
