Bilingual Indonesian STEM Expert (PhD) — AI Safety | $19-$23/hr Remote
Overview
Your PhD in a scientific field like chemistry or biology turns into the main instrument for this part-time remote job. You write detailed prompts in Indonesian on advanced topics, then judge whether the AI’s answers are scientifically sound and appropriately cautious. You do not need prior AI or machine learning experience; we train you on the workflow and keep the standards clear. The subject areas span chemical, biological, and radiological safety, so your depth is what we buy.
What You'll Do5
- 1Compose original, high-level test questions in Indonesian that push the AI on your specific scientific niche.
- 2Read each AI response and score it for factual precision, scientific reasoning, completeness, and potential harm.
- 3Label prompts and conversation threads based on a structured taxonomy of content types and risk levels.
- 4Flag any response that skips safety steps or gives dangerous instructions, and explain your reasoning in English.
- 5Work through a queue of tasks each week, balancing speed with the need for careful judgment.
Requirements6
- 1A completed or in-progress PhD in chemistry, biology, or a closely aligned discipline.
- 2Native or near-native Indonesian writing ability, plus enough English to write professional notes and reports.
- 3Deep familiarity with modern lab instruments or computational tools used in your subfield.
- 4A working sense of what makes scientific information sensitive or dual-use, and a responsible attitude toward sharing it.
- 5Bonus points for a background in radiochemistry, nuclear physics, or hazardous materials handling.
- 6Past experience grading student work, peer reviewing, or red-teaming technical documents is a plus.
Who Should Apply
The right candidate lives and breathes their science and can switch between Indonesian and English without losing nuance. You should enjoy the challenge of testing a model’s limits and explaining exactly why a response misses the mark. This role won’t suit you if your PhD is mostly theory or if your Indonesian is only conversational, because the work depends on precise language. Applications often fail when the person’s degree is outside the hard sciences, or when they underestimate the safety component and treat it as generic data labeling. If you have a clear example of your technical writing in Indonesian, show it upfront.
Salary Insight
The pay runs from $19 to $23 per hour, with the exact rate likely tied to your experience level and how you perform during screening. This is a typical band for remote AI safety evaluation work that requires a PhD; the bilingual requirement often pushes it above entry-level roles. You can expect straightforward hourly compensation, with no mention of bonuses or benefits.

Application Tip
Don’t just list your PhD on your resume. Include a short sample of a technical topic written in Indonesian, and be ready to talk about how you approach sensitive science. Highlight any experience you have assessing or critiquing research, because that directly maps to the annotation work.
