PhD Scientist — STEM Expert

micro1; United States; Remoto; USD 62.000 - 124.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

micro1 is a data lab that builds highly challenging problems from your own research. We seek PhD scientists in STEM fields for a fully remote contract role, worldwide.

You will design difficult technical problems with realistic constraints, provide correct solutions with clear reasoning, and define objective criteria for evaluation. Experience with AI training or evaluation projects is a plus, and publications are welcomed.

Competenze

• Completed PhD in a STEM field with hands-on research experience.
• Experience in wet lab or research lab settings is highly preferred.
• Ability to explain why an answer is correct clearly so others can verify it.
• Publications or a track record of research contributions is a strong plus.

Mansioni

• Design difficult technical problems drawn from your own research area, with realistic constraints and supporting data.
• Provide the correct solution and walk through the reasoning that gets there.
• Define objective criteria for correctness, so another researcher reviewing the work would reach the same verdict.
• Review problems built by other contributors for technical accuracy and soundness of method.
• Flag problems that turn out to be ambiguous or ungradable rather than submitting them.

About micro1
micro1 is a data lab that helps AI labs & Enterprises train foundational models and agents. We provide frontier evaluations and reinforcement learning environments to improve LLM capabilities, as well as contextual evaluations to monitor and improve AI agents in enterprise settings.

Our AI recruiting agent sources and vets domain experts for our data platform that enables rapid production of high-quality training data. Our research spans high-value, specialized domains (legal, medical, finance, coding, etc.), where expert-level data is the hardest to produce and most valuable for advanced model performance. Our pipeline performance system ensures both quality and velocity.

Job Title: PhD Scientist - STEM Expert

Job Type: Contractor

Location: Remote(Worldwide)

Opportunity Snapshot

Pay: $45 - $90/hour

Commitment: Flexible — fits alongside your current role

Location: Fully remote

You’ll need: A completed PhD in a STEM field, plus hands-on research experience

Your tasks: Build difficult technical problems from your own research and define what makes an answer correct

These tasks are hard to build, and that’s the point. We’re looking for people with genuine depth in their field: the problems where the textbook answer isn’t enough, where the right approach depends on reading the constraints correctly, where a plausible-looking answer is quietly wrong.

What you’ll do

• Design difficult technical problems drawn from your own research area, with realistic constraints and supporting data.
• Provide the correct solution and walk through the reasoning that gets there.
• Define objective criteria for correctness, so another researcher reviewing the work would reach the same verdict.
• Review problems built by other contributors for technical accuracy and soundness of method.
• Flag problems that turn out to be ambiguous or ungradable rather than submitting them.

What we’re looking for

• Completed PhD in a STEM field. This is a hard requirement.
• Hands-on research experience — work you did yourself, not work you read about.
• Wet lab, research lab, or academic experience is strongly preferred.
• Able to explain why an answer is correct clearly enough that another researcher could verify it.
• Publications or a record of research contribution is a strong plus.
• Prior experience on AI training or evaluation projects is a plus, not a requirement.
