About the role

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

Process

Upload your resume and application form

A 25-minute conversational interview covering your background, experience, and motivations

Follow up within a few days with next steps and onboarding

Apply today and put your research expertise to work building the next generation of scientific AI. …
