Bilingual Turkish STEM Expert (PhD) — AI Safety | $30-$34/hr Remote
Overview
Remote and part-time, this role asks for a current or completed PhD in a STEM field and native-level Turkish. You'll use your scientific grounding to write prompts and evaluate how AI models respond to specialized topics such as chemistry, biology, and radiological threats. Mercor provides training in their workflow, so prior AI/ML experience is not required. Pay is $30-$34 per hour, and the project begins immediately, with a preference for candidates based in Türkiye or the wider MENA region.
What You'll Do4
- 1Write expert-level prompts in Turkish on advanced scientific subjects, drawing on your doctoral training.
- 2Assess each AI response for factual precision and practical usefulness in handling technical queries.
- 3Note where answers appropriately address or fail to address sensitive content, such as dual-use information.
- 4Categorize every prompt and conversation according to the structured guidelines provided.
Requirements4
- 1Hold a PhD in chemistry, biology, or a related discipline (or be actively pursuing one) with enough depth to craft prompts across chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear subject areas.
- 2Speak Turkish at a native or near-native level and English at a business proficiency level.
- 3Have hands-on experience with contemporary laboratory and computational techniques in your specialization.
- 4Demonstrate careful judgment when evaluating scientific content, especially around safety and dual-use considerations.
Who Should Apply
This role suits a scientist who has completed or is pursuing a PhD in a field like organic chemistry, molecular biology, or radiochemistry and who works comfortably in Turkish. If your research involves handling hazardous materials or touching on biosecurity, that's a plus. On the other hand, if you don't have a PhD-level scientific background or your Turkish is not strong enough to write technical prompts, this isn't the right fit. A common reason candidates don't progress is failing to show concrete depth in a specific subfield, like citing only general chemistry knowledge rather than a focused area. Another is underplaying Turkish fluency; the role expects you to generate expert content in Turkish without hedging.
Salary Insight
$30-$34 per hour, paid part-time. This rate matches the typical band for remote AI training roles that require a PhD-level domain expert and bilingual fluency, and the project starts immediately with a flexible engagement.
