About the role

This is not a traditional academic or full-time role. You’ll use your advanced mathematical training to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI better understand mathematical reasoning, proof construction, and technical problem-solving.

This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity that can be done alongside research, teaching, postdoctoral work, or industry employment.

Placement depends on current project needs, with opportunities to be considered for future projects as they become available.

Responsibilities

  • This project involves using your experience in mathematics to design rigorous, domain-relevant questions and review AI-generated responses for accuracy, logical consistency, and mathematical rigor. No prior AI or technical experience is required.

Experience and education

  • Doctoral students and graduates (including those currently enrolled in a PhD program or in postdoctoral positions) in Mathematics or closely related fields.

  • Strong background in advanced mathematical reasoning, proof-writing, and formal logic.

Schedule details

Fully remote with a flexible, asynchronous schedule and no minimum hour requirement; most contributors work approximately 5–20 hours per week when participating in an active project.

Eligibility

Work arrangement: Fully remote

  • F-1 students who are eligible for CPT or OPT may be eligible for projects on Handshake AI.
