  • Excellent written communication and analytical skills

  • Experts based out of the US, Canada, Mexico, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and Spain

Extra Credit

  • Publications in peer-reviewed physics or astronomy journals.

  • Experience with adversarial prompting, model evaluation, or AI red teaming strongly preferred

  • Teaching, tutoring, or curriculum development experience in physical chemistry or theoretical sciences.

  • Background in scientific annotation or technical quality assurance.

Additional Information

  • Location: Fully remote (no visa sponsorship available if based in the US)
