Nuclear Professional - AI Research Project
Listing checked September 18, 2026 · pay as published by Handshake AI
Overview
Handshake AI hires nuclear professionals for a temporary, per-hour AI research project. You review what AI models generate about nuclear work, judge domain content, and send organized feedback that helps the model grasp your field's tasks and language. You do not need an AI background. The program runs year-round, and new project slots open at different times across areas of expertise.
What You'll Do7
- 1Review AI-generated answers that touch on nuclear topics and workplace scenarios.
- 2Check those answers for technical accuracy, safety context, and clear language.
- 3Assess domain content against real nuclear industry practice and terminology.
- 4Write organized feedback that points out errors, gaps, and confusing phrasing.
- 5Explain nuclear tasks and jargon so the model can map them to correct concepts.
- 6Score model outputs and flag claims that need correction.
- 7Join short project cycles when Handshake AI opens work in your specialty.
Requirements6
- 1Professional experience in the nuclear field, such as operations, engineering, safety, or research.
- 2Ability to judge technical content and spot factual mistakes.
- 3Strong written English for clear, organized feedback.
- 4You do not need prior AI experience.
- 5Comfort with remote, part-time project work that pays by the hour.
- 6Capacity to explain nuclear workplace language and tasks in plain terms.
Who Should Apply
Nuclear professionals with hands-on experience in reactors, radiation protection, safety analysis, or related areas fit this project well. The work suits someone who wants flexible, part-time contributions and can explain technical ideas in writing. People who need a permanent full-time role or guaranteed hours each week should look elsewhere. Candidates often lose fit scores when they send vague feedback without nuclear examples, or when their background does not connect to the project's domain. A strong applicant shows clear nuclear expertise and writes specific, useful critiques of technical content.
Salary Insight
Pay reaches $80.00 per hour at the top of the range. That rate can match nuclear specialists with deep domain knowledge and sits near the high end for part-time AI research projects. Handshake AI pays this role by the hour, and project work is temporary, so total earnings depend on project availability and hours worked.

Required Skills
Application Tip
Name the nuclear systems, rules, or work processes you know, and give one example of how you review technical accuracy. Fit for this project comes from nuclear depth, not AI skills, so leave out AI buzzwords and show where your expertise helps you catch errors or unclear language.

SME Careers
VerifiedNuclear Physicist (Remote) Contract Expert
In this remote hourly contract, you act as a Nuclear Physics SME to review AI-generated content and generate high-quality reference material on radioactive decay, nuclear structure, fission, fusion, and detector physics using tools like geant4 and mcnp. You’ll assess correctness, unit consistency, and safety claims, then provide precise written feedback and model answers that demonstrate best practices in nuclear physics explanations. Your work directly supports AI model training for top labs by producing clear, accurate, and safety-aware content. Expect collaboration with a fast-moving data services team and flexible scheduling across time zones.
Mercor
VerifiedNuclear Safeguards Red Team Expert
Neon seeks nuclear domain specialists to pressure-test frontier AI models on misuse judgment. You will craft single-turn prompts across three bands: benign, dual-use, and adversarial. Then you evaluate model replies against a policy standard and write the reference answer with your reasoning. The panel values fuel-cycle depth, safeguards, and nonproliferation work. The task-based remote engagement pays a one-time $75 fee.
Mercor
VerifiedNuclear Security Engineer (Remote, Task-Based)
A panel of nuclear materials and safeguards specialists will red-team frontier AI models for Mercor, testing how well a model judges misuse potential. You write single-turn prompts at three levels: benign, dual-use, and adversarial, then judge model replies against a policy standard and draft the reference answer with technical reasoning. The work sits on the dual-use line where a material-balance calculation can close an inspector's account or hide a gap. Expect sustained reading and writing about misuse scenarios, with briefings and freedom to pause without penalty.
Handshake AI
VerifiedEnergy Professional - Remote AI Evaluation
Handshake AI hires energy specialists for project-based AI work, not a permanent role. You bring hands-on experience from oil and gas, power generation, utilities, renewables, or energy compliance and use it to judge AI-generated content. The job centers on reviewing model answers for accuracy and relevance, then explaining how real energy workflows operate in practice. No AI background is required. Work happens remote on an asynchronous schedule, with most contributors logging around 5 to 20 hours each week while a project is active.
Mercor
VerifiedNuclear Fuel Cycle Engineer - Remote Task-Based
A task-based remote role puts you on a panel of nuclear fuel cycle and safeguards specialists who red-team frontier AI models. The core question is whether a model can tell a legitimate technical request from a misuse request, answering safe questions in full while refusing dangerous ones. You write single-turn prompts across benign, dual-use, and adversarial levels, then judge model replies against a set policy. Because fuel-cycle work sits on the dual-use line, the panel needs practitioners who know which parameters are routine engineering and which point toward proliferation. Your written reference answers show what a correct response should look like and why.
Mercor
VerifiedForensic Scientist Nuclear Materials Remote
Neon is assembling a panel of nuclear forensics and safeguards practitioners to red-team frontier AI models. The job is to test whether a model can judge misuse potential: it should answer legitimate technical questions and refuse dangerous ones. You will write single-turn prompts across three labels, benign, dual-use, and adversarial, then assess model responses against a set policy standard. Each prompt also needs a reference answer that describes a sound reply and the technical reasoning behind it. Much of the challenge comes from the dual-use nature of this field, where the same signature that helps attribute a sample could also reveal what to hide.
