Bilingual Danish STEM Expert (PhD) — AI Safety | $61-$65/hr Remote

61–65/hr
Remote · Remote — Western Europe preferred
Posted September 4, 2026
part-time

Overview

Hiring scientists with deep expertise in chemistry or biology to assess and refine how AI models respond to specialized Danish-language queries. The work revolves around crafting advanced prompts, judging responses for scientific accuracy, and identifying content that could pose risks. Your PhD background provides the subject-matter authority, while your Danish fluency allows you to write and review in precise technical language. Prior machine-learning experience is not necessary. The team supplies full training on the evaluation guidelines.

What You'll Do4

  • 1Write detailed Danish-language prompts that probe chemical, biological, and radiological topics.
  • 2Annotate model answers to verify their scientific correctness, usefulness, and safe handling of sensitive content.
  • 3Adhere to structured rules when sorting prompts and conversations into categories based on potential risk.
  • 4Apply your domain-specific knowledge to judge whether model outputs unintentionally provide dual-use or hazardous guidance.

Requirements4

  • 1Hold a PhD in chemistry, biology, or a closely related field, either completed or in progress, with the ability to compose advanced questions across chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear areas.
  • 2Speak Danish at native or near-native proficiency and communicate effectively in written English at a business level.
  • 3Use modern laboratory workflows and computational approaches routinely in your research area.
  • 4Demonstrate sound judgment about scientific safety, including how to handle information that could be misused.

Who Should Apply

The ideal candidate has a PhD in a life science or chemistry discipline and is equally comfortable with Danish and English, often based in Denmark or Western Europe. This role suits someone who values precision over discovery and can apply strict guidelines without hesitation. It is less suited to researchers seeking to conduct primary experiments or build new ML models from scratch. Candidates often get filtered out if they cannot show native-level Danish writing, or if their academic work does not touch on safety, biosecurity, radiological, or hazardous-material topics. Make sure your CV highlights specific subfield expertise and any coursework or research in dual-use areas.

Salary Insight

$61 to $65 per hour for this contract. The rate sits at the higher end for AI safety evaluation roles that do not require prior technical AI background, reflecting the weight given to a PhD and specialized subject knowledge.
