Mathematics Researcher (Masters/PhDs)

Mathematics Researcher (Masters/PhDs) - AI Training About The Role What if your deep knowledge of mathematics could directly shape how AI reasons through the world's most complex problems? We're looking for Mathematics Researchers to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models — designing rigorous problems, stress-testing mathematical reasoning, and ensuring AI gets the hard stuff right.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for people with serious mathematical credentials. If you hold a Master's or PhD in Mathematics or a related field and want to put that expertise to meaningful use, this is the opportunity.

• Organization: Alignerr
• Type: Hourly Contract
• Location: Remote
• Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

• Develop, solve, and review advanced mathematical problems with real-world relevance and complexity
• Apply your expertise in algebra, calculus, statistics, discrete mathematics, or related areas to design rigorous problem statements
• Evaluate AI-generated mathematical reasoning for accuracy, depth, and logical soundness
• Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and domain experts to improve model performance
• Ensure mathematical rigor, clarity, and precision across all deliverables
• Work independently on task-based assignments at your own pace

Who You Are

• Hold a Master's or PhD in Mathematics or a closely related field
• Deeply knowledgeable in one or more of: algebra, calculus, statistics, or discrete mathematics
• Experienced with Python, MATLAB, Mathematica, or similar tools for mathematical research or projects
• Exceptionally precise — you notice errors others miss and care about getting it exactly right
• A strong written communicator who can articulate complex ideas with clarity
• Fluent in English and based in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, or New Zealand

Nice to Have

• Prior experience with data annotation, data quality evaluation, or AI training workflows
• Background in academic research, technical writing, or curriculum development
• Familiarity with AI tools or mathematical reasoning benchmarks
• Experience reviewing or editing mathematical content for publication or instruction

Why Join Us

• Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs
• Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
• Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based work
• Make a direct, tangible impact on how AI understands and applies advanced mathematics
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
