About the project

You give an AI assistant a task like one from your own work, work with it over several turns, and rate the result against a professional standard.

What you will do

• Write short, realistic requests, like a real user would type.
• Work with the assistant on the task: steer it, answer its questions, and push back when it is wrong.
• Rate the experience and the deliverable, and write short notes on what went well or badly.

Who we are looking for

• You are a scientist or engineer (for example chemist, physicist, civil, mechanical, electrical or chemical engineer).
• A degree and 3+ years of professional experience in a physical science or engineering field.
• You use AI assistants at least occasionally.
• You write clearly in English.

Details

• Remote, about 10 hours per week, flexible schedule.
• Only open to candidates in countries where the assistant is available.

We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.

Contract and Payment Terms

• You will be engaged as an independent contractor.
• This is a fully remote role that can be completed on your own schedule.
• Projects can be extended, shortened, or concluded early depending on needs and performance.
• Your work at Mercor will not involve access to confidential or proprietary information from any employer, client, or institution.
• Payments are weekly on Stripe or Wise based on services rendered.
