Math Expert PhD for AI Training: Remote Contract
Listing checked September 4, 2026 · pay as published by Micro1
Overview
A remote contractor role for PhD-level mathematicians to support an AI training project. You’ll craft detailed, accurate responses to undergraduate and graduate level math prompts and create high-quality “golden” answers for model training. Collaboration with a distributed expert team ensures clarity and educational value, while you interpret complex problems into clear explanations. Your domain knowledge in mathematics is the key asset, and no AI background is required.
What You'll Do6
- 1Develop precise, comprehensive solutions to challenging mathematics prompts spanning undergraduate and graduate curricula
- 2Create and deliver high-quality model answers that demonstrate deep subject mastery for AI training
- 3Work with a dispersed team to ensure clarity, precision, and educational value across all math content
- 4Analyze intricate problems, proofs, and concepts and translate them into structured, accessible explanations
- 5Provide input to refine project guidelines, response standards, and content workflows as the engagement evolves
- 6Adhere to project requirements for format, quality, and timely delivery
Requirements5
- 1PhD in Mathematics or a closely related field from an accredited institution
- 2Proven record of academic excellence and depth of subject-matter knowledge at the graduate level
- 3Exceptional written and verbal communication skills with the ability to convey complex ideas succinctly
- 4Experience authoring or reviewing mathematics materials such as textbooks, exams, problem sets, or journal articles
- 5Familiarity with a broad range of pure and applied mathematics and strong attention to detail
Who Should Apply
The ideal candidate is a PhD-level mathematician who can produce precise, well-structured explanations and high-quality written content for AI training. This role may not be suitable for someone without a doctoral degree or those who struggle with remote collaboration. Common reasons for lower fit include weaker graduate-level math mastery or limited experience communicating complex ideas clearly, and difficulty meeting format and delivery standards. Candidates should be comfortable with iterative feedback in a distributed, remote team and able to start quickly.
