Bilingual Polish STEM Expert (PhD) — AI Safety | $50-$54/hr Remote
Overview
This role puts your PhD expertise to work on the front lines of AI safety. You'll pair fluent English and Polish with deep scientific knowledge to write, evaluate, and refine how large language models handle complex technical topics. You'll get full training on the evaluation workflow, so no prior AI or machine learning background is needed. It's a part-time, remote engagement paying $50-$54 per hour, with an emphasis on candidates based in Eastern Europe.
What You'll Do4
- 1Craft expert-level Polish prompts that target specialized scientific subjects.
- 2Score and annotate model outputs for accuracy, usefulness, and safe handling of sensitive information.
- 3Follow structured guidelines to sort prompts and conversations into appropriate categories.
- 4Flag any dual-use or hazardous data that appears in model responses, applying your knowledge of chemical, biological, and nuclear safety.
Requirements5
- 1Current PhD candidate or completed PhD in chemistry, biology, or a closely related discipline.
- 2Native or near-native Polish proficiency alongside business-level written English.
- 3Hands-on experience with modern laboratory and computational tools in your specialty.
- 4Sound professional judgment on scientific safety and responsible management of dual-use information.
- 5Preference for candidates in Poland or elsewhere in Eastern Europe, though remote applicants worldwide are considered.
Who Should Apply
The right person holds a PhD in chemistry, biology, or a neighboring field and can discuss their research fluently in Polish. They have real laboratory or computational experience, and they think carefully about how scientific knowledge might be misused. This role is not a match for someone without deep technical training or who cannot write at an expert level in Polish. Many candidates are screened out for lacking depth in a specific subfield, like organic synthesis or virology, or for not demonstrating clear awareness of biosafety and security considerations.
Salary Insight
The contract pays $50-$54 per hour for part-time work, which is a solid rate for PhD-level consulting in the AI safety space. Comparable roles often sit in the $40-$60 range, so this lands near the middle and reflects the need for both scientific depth and bilingual fluency.
