• Align problems with specific model-evaluation objectives

Mathematical Reasoning & Solution Review

• Solve complex mathematical problems independently
• Produce detailed and logically structured solutions
• Explain each conclusion with clear mathematical justification
• Review model-generated solutions for correctness and completeness
• Identify errors, missing arguments, and flawed reasoning

Computational Mathematics & Python

• Develop computational tasks requiring precise numerical answers
• Write reliable Python solutions for mathematical problems
• Use approved scientific libraries where appropriate
• Verify numerical outputs and computational results
• Provide clear rationales supporting calculated answers

Formal Proof & Benchmark Development

• Contribute to mathematics evaluation benchmarks
• Translate mathematical statements and proofs into Lean
• Develop formal theorem-prover tasks
• Verify that formal proofs compile correctly
• Support evaluation across undergraduate through Ph.D.-level curricula

Research Collaboration & Technical Communication

• Provide detailed annotations and constructive feedback
• Explain advanced mathematics in clear and accessible language
• Communicate evaluation findings in a structured format
• Collaborate remotely with research and technical contributors
• Work independently while maintaining consistent project quality

• Applied Mathematics and Statistics backgrounds are also relevant
• Strong mathematical research and analytical capabilities
• Ability to solve complex problems using structured logical reasoning
• Expertise may include number theory
• Combinatorics and discrete mathematics experience is relevant
• Probability and statistics expertise is valuable
• Familiarity with mathematical logic and foundations is welcome
• Differential equations and dynamical systems backgrounds are relevant
• Strong understanding of algebra, calculus, and analysis
• Geometry and topology expertise is valuable
• Comfortable with abstract and proof-based mathematics
• Ability to explain mathematical concepts using simple language, visuals, and examples
• Strong creative and lateral thinking abilities
• Ability to provide detailed annotations and constructive feedback
• Python programming capability is valuable for computational assignments
• Familiarity with Lean or formal theorem proving is particularly relevant
• Excellent written English communication
• Self-motivated and able to work independently
• Reliable desktop or laptop setup with a stable internet connection

Engagement Details

• Part-time independent contractor / freelance engagement
• Fully remote
• Available commitment options are 20, 30, or 40 hours per week
• Minimum commitment is 20 hours per week
• At least 4 hours of work per day is required
• Approximately 4 hours of overlap with PST is required
• Work will involve mathematical problem design, solution evaluation, computational tasks, and benchmark development
• Assignments may include Python-based numerical and computational work
• Some projects may involve Lean and formal theorem-prover workflows
• Mathematics content may range from early undergraduate through Ph.D. level
• Contract extension may be available depending on performance and project requirements
• No medical or paid-leave benefits are included under the contractor arrangement
• Work must be completed without using confidential, proprietary, unpublished research, restricted datasets, or otherwise protected information belonging to any employer, university, research group, client, or other third party
