Bilingual Korean STEM Expert (PhD) — AI Safety | $63-$67/hr Remote
Overview
A remote, part-time position is open for PhD-level scientists in chemistry or biology who speak Korean and English at a native or near-native level. You will craft expert-level prompts in Korean and assess AI responses for scientific accuracy and safe handling of sensitive content. No prior AI or machine learning experience is required, as the workflow training is provided. Your research depth will directly improve AI safety protocols for technical topics, and the project is available for you to start now.
What You'll Do5
- 1Compose sophisticated Korean-language prompts that challenge AI models on advanced scientific topics.
- 2Rate model responses for factual precision, usefulness, and ethical treatment of dual-use information.
- 3Sort prompts and dialogues into predefined safety categories using structured guidelines.
- 4Document evaluation findings with specific examples of strong and weak model outputs.
- 5Flag patterns of scientific inaccuracy or unsafe guidance for the project team to address.
Requirements5
- 1Hold a PhD in chemistry, biology, or a similar scientific field, either already completed or currently in progress.
- 2Demonstrate native or near-native proficiency in Korean and business-level written English.
- 3Show extensive hands-on experience with modern laboratory and computational techniques relevant to your specialization.
- 4Apply careful judgment when assessing scientific safety and the responsible use of potentially dual-use information.
- 5Preference given to candidates with expertise in radiological or nuclear chemistry, organic synthesis, molecular biology, or related safety domains.
Who Should Apply
The right candidate for this role is a researcher with deep knowledge in a specific branch of chemistry or biology, such as molecular biology or synthetic chemistry. You will shine if you can quickly write precise technical prompts in Korean and evaluate AI answers without sacrificing nuance. If your expertise is broad but not deep, or if you are not comfortable handling sensitive research topics, this position is not a good match. Rejections often happen when applicants overstate their Korean language skills or fail to show concrete experience with dual-use research materials. A successful application will demonstrate both technical depth and careful attention to safety protocols.
Salary Insight
The pay rate for this role is $63.00 to $67.00 per hour. For a part-time remote position requiring a PhD and bilingual expertise, this rate aligns with the higher end of scientific consulting work, reflecting the specialized safety focus.
