Bilingual Arabic STEM Expert (PhD) — AI Safety | $38-$42/hr Remote
Overview
Apply your PhD in chemistry or biology to a remote, part-time role focused on AI safety. You'll craft Arabic prompts that test how models handle specialized technical topics, then evaluate responses for scientific precision and safety. The scope covers chemical, biological, and radiological subject areas, requiring careful treatment of sensitive or dual-use content. No AI background needed; full training on the workflow is provided.
What You'll Do4
- 1Write expert-level Arabic prompts spanning synthesis chemistry, molecular biology, and nuclear topics.
- 2Assess AI-generated answers for factual correctness, clarity, and appropriate handling of sensitive knowledge.
- 3Apply predefined rubrics to categorize prompts and conversational threads.
- 4Coordinate with the project team to refine prompt quality and surface potential safety gaps.
Requirements4
- 1A PhD in chemistry, biology, or a closely aligned discipline, either completed or in progress.
- 2Native or near-native Arabic, with business-level written English.
- 3Hands-on familiarity with contemporary laboratory and computational techniques in your specialty.
- 4Sound judgment for identifying dual-use hazards and ensuring responsible scientific communication.
Who Should Apply
The best fit is a PhD scientist who thinks in Arabic and can articulate complex chemistry or biology with clarity. If you have deep subfield expertise, like virology or radiochemistry, and you care about how AI disseminates scientific information, you'll thrive. This role suits those who enjoy critical evaluation rather than original research. It is less appropriate for scientists with only conversational Arabic or broad knowledge without a focused specialty. Common rejection reasons include weak Arabic technical vocabulary and an inability to demonstrate applied depth in a specific domain.
Salary Insight
The advertised hourly rate is $38–$42. This level of compensation typically matches what specialized PhD consultants earn for part-time, project-based work, reflecting the bilingual and scientific expertise required.
