STEM PhDs and Researchers: Advanced Problem Creation for AI

What We're Researching

We are running a paid study on the scientific reasoning capabilities of advanced AI models. Our goal is to push the boundaries of how these systems handle complex, PhD-level problems in biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics. This work directly feeds into developing more accurate and reliable technical reasoning engines.

How It Works

You will create original, graduate-to-PhD-level academic problems within your specific area of STEM expertise. For each problem, you must provide a single verifiable answer along with a rigorous, step-by-step written solution. You may also be asked to review AI-generated responses to identify specific logical or factual reasoning errors. The workflow requires careful technical writing and a deep commitment to academic accuracy.

Who This Is For

We are hiring individuals with deep subject-matter knowledge and strong analytical reasoning skills in STEM fields. We welcome PhD candidates, postdoctoral researchers, university faculty, and industry professionals with equivalent advanced academic backgrounds. Candidates must have extensive experience solving, teaching, or developing rigorous technical problems in biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, or engineering.

What You'll Do

• Draft original, graduate-level academic problems in your area of STEM expertise.

• Write rigorous, step-by-step solutions with exact, verifiable answers.

• Review AI-generated technical responses to spot logical fallacies or factual errors.

• Apply careful technical writing standards to all submitted materials.

Who Should Apply

• PhD candidate, postdoctoral researcher, faculty member, or advanced STEM expert.

• Deep subject-matter expertise in biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, or engineering.

• Experience teaching, reviewing, or developing advanced academic problems.

• Ability to pass a project-instructions assessment and identity verification.
