Mathematics Researcher; Masters​/PhDs

What if your years of mathematical study could directly shape how AI reasons through the world's most complex problems? We're looking for Mathematics Researchers with advanced degrees to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models — designing rigorous problems, stress-testing mathematical reasoning, and ensuring the next generation of AI can think with real precision and depth. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for people who live and breathe mathematics.

No prior AI experience needed — just a deep command of your field and a commitment to intellectual rigor.

• Organization:

• Type:
  Hourly Contract
• Location:
  
  Remote
• Commitment: 10-40 hours/week

• Develop, solve, and review advanced mathematical problems with real-world relevance and genuine depth
• Apply your expertise in algebra, calculus, statistics, discrete mathematics, or related areas to design complex, meaningful problem statements
• Evaluate AI-generated mathematical reasoning for correctness, rigor, and clarity
• Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and domain experts to push the boundaries of AI model reasoning
• Ensure mathematical precision and intellectual integrity across all deliverables
• Work independently on task-based assignments — entirely on your own schedule

• Hold a Master's or PhD in Mathematics or a closely related field
• Deeply skilled in one or more of: algebra, calculus, statistics, or discrete mathematics
• Experienced with Python, MATLAB, or Mathematica for research or technical projects
• Exceptionally precise in written communication — you explain complex ideas with clarity and confidence
• Naturally detail-oriented with high standards for mathematical accuracy
• Fluent in English and based in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, or New Zealand

• Prior experience with data annotation, data quality, or evaluation systems
• Background in academic research, technical writing, or peer review
• Familiarity with AI tools or machine learning concepts
• Experience communicating advanced mathematics to non-specialist audiences

• Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside the world's leading AI research labs
• Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
• Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, intellectually stimulating work
• Make a direct, tangible impact on how AI understands and applies advanced mathematics
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
