Description

Role Overview We are seeking expert mathematicians to author and review high-quality academic assessment content for an AI research initiative. You will write and verify rigorous multiple-choice questions across core mathematics domains, evaluate solution quality, and help establish gold-standard benchmarks used to advance AI capabilities. You will be assigned one of two task types:

  • Question Authoring β€” Create original, challenging multiple-choice questions in your area of mathematical expertise, rate their difficulty, and submit them for review.
  • Question Verification β€” Review pre-written questions for accuracy, clarity, and rigor. Edit where needed, rate difficulty, and document any changes made. Mathematics Domains Covered Algebra (incl. Linear Algebra), Probability & Statistics, Analysis (incl. Calculus), Discrete Mathematics (incl. Combinatorics & Graph Theory), Number Theory, Geometry & Topology, ODE/PDE & Dynamical Systems, Optimization & Operations Research (incl. Game Theory), Computational & Numerical Mathematics, Logic, Set Theory & Foundations. Key Responsibilities
  • Author original math questions that test deep conceptual understanding, not surface-level recall
  • Ensure questions are unambiguous, self-contained, and precisely defined β€” all necessary information must be in the problem statement
  • Rate each question's difficulty: Medium (intro undergraduate), Hard (advanced undergraduate), or Expert (post-graduate and above)
  • Provide 1 correct answer and 9 plausible but subtly incorrect alternatives that challenge expert-level solvers
  • Write step-by-step Chain-of-Thought solutions with clear, concise intermediate steps in markdown format
  • Supply 1–5 academic references per question from reputable sources (peer-reviewed journals, university repositories)
  • For verification tasks: flag issues with clarity, completeness, precision, or solvability and justify any edits made Ideal Qualifications
  • PhD or doctoral candidate in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, or a closely related field
  • Master's degree considered for candidates with exceptional depth in a specific subdomain
  • Strong command of graduate-level mathematical concepts and formal proof writing
  • Experience with rigorous academic problem design or mathematical competition writing is a strong plus
  • Excellent written English and ability to express complex ideas clearly and concisely More About the Opportunity
  • Expected commitment: 10+ hours/week
  • Asynchronous, fully remote work
