This role is for one of our clients Compensation: $70 per hour
We are hiring PhD and Master's scientists to author AI evaluation tasks (Sci Code). We are partnering with leading AI labs on a new benchmark for scientific computing. You will author original, executable research problems that today's frontier models cannot solve.
Domains — depth required in at least two subdomains (with a coding focus) Physics — condensed matter, optics, quantum information/computing, computational physics, astrophysics, particle physics
Requirements:
What you'll do Source your own material: a published paper, a Kaggle dataset, an open-source repository, or a scenario you design
Write scientific prompts based on the input
Build the grading criteria that define a correct answer
Calibrate against frontier models — a task ships only when strong models fail it more often than they succeed
Required PhD in physics, applied physics, or a closely related field
Demonstrated depth in at least two of the following subdomains: condensed matter, optics, quantum information/computing, computational physics, astrophysics, particle physics
Working proficiency in Python, R, or another relevant programming language for scientific computing
Comfortable with Git/GitHub and running code in Docker — authoring runs through a pull-request workflow with automated quality checks
Preferred Publications in peer-reviewed journals
Prior scientific software or research engineering experience
Engagement Duration:
6 weeks
Commitment: part-time, 20+ hours per week
Start date:
immediate
