Scientific AI Evaluation, Computational Problem Designer

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.

📋 Description

• Design sophisticated computational challenges that necessitate the use of domain-specific scientific software.

• Develop tasks that evaluate both accurate execution (multi-step workflows, simulations) and strategic thinking (experiment design, deductions from incomplete data).

• Create problem setups, solution pathways, and mechanisms for validation.

• Adjust and enhance tasks based on model performance to meet targeted difficulty levels.

• Ensure that problems prioritize reasoning strategy over simple computational power.

⛳️ Requirements

• Proven expertise with at least one relevant scientific library, demonstrated through research, open-source contributions, or industry experience.

• Ability to work autonomously and adapt based on constructive feedback.

• Proficiency in Linux/terminal environments and remote computing configurations.

• Availability to commit at least 15–20 hours per week.

• Graduate-level knowledge (MS or PhD preferred) in a pertinent STEM discipline.

• Practical experience utilizing scientific software libraries for genuine research challenges.

• Strong programming skills in Python, including the development of computational workflows and validation tools.

• Capability to design complex problems that necessitate profound reasoning rather than superficial solutions.

• Understanding of edge cases, limitations, and practical issues related to scientific tools.

• Experience in diverse domains or with various tools.

• Background in evaluation frameworks or benchmarking processes.

• Experience in education, pedagogy, or the creation of problem sets.

• Familiarity with reproducible research methodologies and containerized environments.

🏝️ Benefits

• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge scientific challenges.

• Collaborative environment with like-minded professionals.

• Flexible working hours to accommodate personal schedules.

• Access to advanced scientific tools and resources.
