Bilingual Norwegian STEM Expert (PhD) — AI Safety | $77-$81/hr Remote
Overview
We are hiring a PhD-level scientist with native or near-native Norwegian and strong English to help improve how AI models handle specialized technical content. You will write expert prompts in Norwegian and evaluate model outputs for accuracy, safety, and clarity. No prior AI experience is required; we provide full training on our workflow. The role is part-time, fully remote, and starts immediately, with a preference for candidates based in Norway. Your deep knowledge of chemistry, biology, or related fields becomes the foundation for strengthening AI safety measures in high-stakes domains.
What You'll Do4
- 1Write detailed expert prompts in Norwegian covering specialized topics in chemistry, biology, and related fields.
- 2Assess AI-generated responses for scientific accuracy and factual correctness against your domain knowledge.
- 3Review responses for appropriate handling of sensitive or dual-use information, applying your safety judgment.
- 4Use given classification guidelines to categorize and label prompts and conversations for quality control.
Requirements6
- 1PhD in chemistry, biology, or a closely related scientific field, either ongoing or completed.
- 2Native or near-native Norwegian proficiency and strong written English skills for business communication.
- 3Demonstrated expertise in modern laboratory and computational techniques relevant to your discipline.
- 4Solid understanding of scientific safety and responsible handling of dual-use information.
- 5Preferred: Location in Norway or familiarity with radiological and nuclear domains, such as radiochemistry, nuclear chemistry, or radiation physics.
- 6Preferred: Research or coursework related to chemical safety, biosafety, biosecurity, or hazardous materials handling.
Who Should Apply
The ideal candidate is a research scientist with a PhD in a natural science who enjoys applying deep expertise to practical safety challenges. You should have a nuanced grasp of laboratory work and be comfortable writing technical content in Norwegian, since you will craft prompts that test AI boundaries. This role suits someone with time to spare for part-time, remote consulting and an interest in how AI interprets complex scientific information. If you prefer hands-on bench research over content evaluation, or you lack the specific scientific background, this role would be a poor fit. Common reasons applicants get weeded out include weak Norwegian language skills, a mismatch between their PhD specialization and the required technical domains, or an inability to demonstrate responsible judgment about sensitive information in their responses.
Salary Insight
The hourly rate of $77 to $81 is above typical freelance rates for part-time scientific consulting, reflecting the niche combination of Norwegian fluency and STEM expertise. This usually corresponds to a senior-level researcher with several years of postdoctoral or industry experience.
