About the Opportunity
This opportunity is for experienced Postdoctoral Researchers and STEM Research Specialists with advanced expertise in scientific research, technical problem-solving, data analysis, research methodology, scientific reasoning, and experimental workflows to contribute to advanced AI research and evaluation projects.
In this role, you'll apply your research expertise to evaluate AI-generated scientific outputs, technical analyses, research methodologies, problem-solving approaches, and complex STEM workflows. Your work will help improve the accuracy, reasoning, reliability, and research capabilities of next-generation AI systems.
No prior AI experience is required. Your advanced STEM research background, scientific reasoning, technical expertise, and research experience are the primary qualifications for success in this role.
Responsibilities
- Evaluate AI-generated scientific research, technical analyses, and STEM problem-solving outputs for accuracy, depth, and methodological rigor.
- Apply expertise in research methodology, experimental design, scientific reasoning, data analysis, and technical problem-solving.
- Review complex research workflows, experimental approaches, computational analyses, and scientific methodologies.
- Analyze datasets, research findings, experimental results, and technical outputs to identify errors, inconsistencies, limitations, and edge cases.
- Validate AI-generated solutions using professional STEM knowledge and established research principles.
- Document research methodologies, analytical approaches, validation processes, and technical reasoning in clear and structured formats.
- Provide expert feedback to improve AI accuracy, scientific reasoning, problem-solving capabilities, and output quality.
- Develop or apply structured evaluation frameworks and rubrics for assessing complex STEM research tasks.
- Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to maintain scientific accuracy, consistency, and evaluation standards.
