Handshake AI
VerifiedMathematics Expert - AI Evaluation Project
Handshake AI seeks mathematicians and research scientists for part-time contract work that supports AI research. You will craft expert-level math problems drawn from real proof, formalization, and computational workflows. Then you assess model answers for technical accuracy and rigor, and send structured written feedback that helps the system reason more like a working mathematician. The fellowship runs remote and asynchronous, so you choose your hours and carry the work alongside another role.
SME Careers
VerifiedMathematics Specialist for AI Training Content
SME Careers, a fast-growing AI data services company and subsidiary of SuperAnnotate, seeks a Mathematics Specialist to contribute remotely to AI training initiatives. You will review AI training content and AI outputs, assess the quality of step-by-step reasoning, and provide expert feedback that helps models produce accurate, clearly explained results. Your work includes fact-checking quantitative information across sources and translating advanced theory into clear mathematical explanations and model solutions. There is currently no active project, but qualified experts will be contacted first when opportunities arise.
Turing
VerifiedMathematics Expert (Master’s/Ph.D.)
This role works on projects that assess and refine large language models using advanced mathematical reasoning. You will design challenging multi-step problems, solve them on your own, and translate proofs into the formal language of Lean. The job also involves writing reliable Python code for computational tasks, verifying numerical answers, and providing detailed feedback on model-generated solutions. A solid background in mathematics at the graduate or PhD level is essential, along with the ability to break down abstract ideas for non-experts. The engagement is a freelance contract that requires 20 to 40 hours per week, with a 4-hour overlap with Pacific Time.
Micro1
VerifiedMath Expert PhD for AI Training: Remote Contract
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.
Turing
VerifiedMathematics Expert - Remote Scientific Computing
Turing wants mathematics experts to build authentic, terminal-based tasks for Terminal Bench Science, testing whether AI agents can handle real computational mathematics. You will craft problems across numerical analysis, optimization, statistics, probability, dynamical systems, and mathematical modeling, then implement expert solutions in Python, R, Julia, C/C++, or Bash. The work centers on translating research workflows into self-contained terminal environments with rigorous grading criteria and reproducible outputs. Every task you design must have verifiable results, clear tolerances, and automated tests that catch edge cases. This is a remote role for someone who combines deep mathematical training with hands-on scientific computing.
Handshake AI
VerifiedMathematics Expert (India) Part-Time Remote
Handshake AI offers this fellowship as an ongoing, part-time contract for mathematicians and research scientists who can improve model reasoning in pure and applied math. You judge AI answers for proof rigor, formalization, and computational correctness. The schedule stays open, so you can keep the project alongside a current academic or industry role. Contributions center on real mathematics workflows, from symbolic computation to theorem proving.
