STEM Professor

AI Trainer Jobs; United States; Remote; USD 170,000 - 243,000; Part time

Job summary

AuraOne is seeking a STEM Professor to remotely review AI outputs across stem research reasoning, calculations, and workflows. You will grade derivations, reproduce key results, and document the correct method so the modeling team can train on it.

Responsibilities include reproducing derivations, adjudicating disputed answers, and flagging errors with structured severity tags, while ensuring reasoning cites methods and literature for transparency and accuracy.

Qualifications

• Graduate-level training or equivalent applied experience in stem research or a closely related field for STEM Professor work.
• Hands-on experience publishing, teaching, or advising on the topic at a professional level.
• Comfort applying multi-page rubrics consistently across long batches.
• Clear written reasoning that cites methods, papers, or worked examples.
• Reliable async availability for at least 10 hours per week.

Responsibilities

• Review AI outputs against current stem research methods, conventions, and prior work for STEM Professor assignments.
• Reproduce or sanity-check key derivations, calculations, or experimental claims.
• Flag dimensional, methodological, and citation errors with structured severity tags.
• Capture the corrected reasoning or worked example so the modeling team can train on it.
• Adjudicate disputed answers against textbooks, papers, or community standards.

Job description

Role details

STEM Professor is a remote review track for evaluating AI outputs across stem research reasoning, calculations, and research workflows. Reviewers grade derivations and assumptions, reproduce key results, and document the correct method so the modeling team can train on it.

Category: Scientific AI & Domain Experts · Pay: $150 / hr · Location: Remote — US-eligible · Contractor

About the role

STEM Professor is a remote review track for evaluating AI outputs across stem research reasoning, calculations, and research workflows. Reviewers grade derivations and assumptions, reproduce key results, and document the correct method so the modeling team can train on it.
STEM research models live or die on whether their derivations actually hold up under scrutiny. AuraOne uses scientific specialists to grade outputs the way a peer reviewer would — checking assumptions, reproducing key steps, and capturing the right method alongside the wrong one.
Bring scientific and technical domain expertise into AI reasoning, research, and dataset review.

Responsibilities

• Review AI outputs against current stem research methods, conventions, and prior work for STEM Professor assignments.
• Reproduce or sanity-check key derivations, calculations, or experimental claims.
• Flag dimensional, methodological, and citation errors with structured severity tags.
• Capture the corrected reasoning or worked example so the modeling team can train on it.
• Adjudicate disputed answers against textbooks, papers, or community standards.

What you should bring

• Graduate-level training or equivalent applied experience in stem research or a closely related field for STEM Professor work.
• Hands-on experience publishing, teaching, or advising on the topic at a professional level.
• Comfort applying multi-page rubrics consistently across long batches.
• Clear written reasoning that cites methods, papers, or worked examples.
• Reliable async availability for at least 10 hours per week.

Example tasks

• Reproduce a stem research derivation from a model output and flag any algebraic or dimensional errors.
• Grade a model's literature summary against the cited papers and rate the citation quality.
• Adjudicate a disputed answer between two reviewers using textbook methods.
• Audit a 25-row batch for rubric consistency and report drift to the program lead.

Useful experience

• PhD, postdoc, or industry research experience in the topic area.
• Prior work reviewing AI-assisted research tooling and its failure modes.
• Multilingual fluency for non-English papers and corpora.

Compensation and schedule

$150 / hr
Expected arrangement: contractor , with program-defined task volume and review pacing. Placement depends on current program demand and reviewer confirmation.
