PhD Scientist - STEM Expert

STEM PhDs with hands-on research experience build hard technical problems from their own research, supply the correct solution and reasoning, and set objective criteria so another researcher would reach the same grade. They also review problems written by others and flag any that are ambiguous. A completed PhD is mandatory, and lab experience is strongly preferred. The work is remote and open worldwide at $45 to $90 per hour, flexible enough to fit beside a current job.

What you would do

• Design difficult problems from your own research area, backed by realistic constraints and data
• Supply the correct solution and show the reasoning that leads to it
• Set objective correctness criteria that another researcher could apply and agree with
• Review other contributors' problems for technical accuracy and sound method
• Flag ambiguous or ungradable problems instead of submitting them
