Overview

AfterQuery builds the expert evaluation data that frontier AI labs use to measure what a model can and cannot do in real professional work. Science teachers on this contract write classroom scenarios, complete with labs and the misconceptions students bring to them, then judge model answers for accuracy and lab safety. You choose your hours each week, work from anywhere, and commit a minimum of ten. Disciplines run across biology, chemistry, physics and earth science, so you stay inside the subject you know best. Everything you write shapes how models handle scientific reasoning.

What You'll Do7

  • Draft realistic science teaching scenarios, including lab activities and the wrong ideas students often carry into a lesson.
  • Compose reference answers that lay out the reasoning behind every explanation, clear enough for another teacher to follow.
  • Score model responses for scientific accuracy and for lab safety issues.
  • Call out explanations and demonstrations that sound convincing but hold errors or unsafe steps.
  • Match the reading level and pacing of the grade band your scenarios target.
  • Keep judgments consistent with the rubric the project uses so other reviewers reach the same call.
  • Turn around assigned work inside the project window while setting your own weekly hours.

Requirements8

  • A teaching license or certification that carries a science endorsement.
  • Two or more years teaching science in a classroom.
  • Deep command of at least one discipline: biology, chemistry, physics or earth science.
  • Written English strong enough to set out scientific reasoning so a peer teacher can track each step.
  • Willingness to commit at least 10 hours per week.
  • Preferred: experience teaching advanced courses such as AP, IB or equivalents.
  • Preferred: background in lab design and inquiry based instruction.
  • Preferred: mentoring students through science fairs or research projects.

Who Should Apply

A licensed classroom science teacher with a science endorsement and two or more years of experience. You know one discipline deeply, whether biology, chemistry, physics or earth science, and you can put your reasoning into writing another teacher can follow.

Salary Insight

The posting shows $60.00/hr, and the published band for this contract runs $45 to $75 per hour based on your experience, not negotiated down after you start. Payment goes out through Stripe. Rates in that range line up with licensed teachers who bring classroom history to expert review work.
