Scientific Researcher — Computational Task Author (AfterQuery)
What the work involves
AfterQuery is building a network of researchers to author and validate research-grade scientific-computing tasks for AI models. A strong task is a real piece of computational work from your own research — a simulation setup, numerical solver, model fit, data-reduction or analysis pipeline, or an inverse problem — built as a main problem, a few connected subproblems, a reference solution, and tests that check the scientific result. The difficulty should come from the science itself, not from withheld information.
Open to PhD students, postdocs, research scientists and research-active Master's students. Fully remote, independent-contractor work paid per approved task.
What you'll do
- Design and author original research-grade evaluation tasks based on your own computational work
- Specify the metrics a strong solution should be judged by, without publishing the exact passing thresholds
- Build each task as a main problem, connected subproblems, a reference solution and result-checking tests
- Revise tasks based on structured review feedback until approved
- Optionally review and calibrate tasks submitted by other experts in your domain
- Work independently and manage your own schedule — task-based, no cap on how many you take on
Requirements & eligibility
- Currently pursuing or holding a PhD with active hands-on research, or a Master's with a research-active record (thesis research, an RA or lab role, a real publication, or a clear PhD trajectory)
- Working proficiency in Python — enough to run and debug your own computational work
- Able to turn your own computational research into a well-specified evaluation task
- Able to work independently and manage your own time (no fixed weekly schedule)
- Current PhD student, postdoc or actively publishing faculty (preferred)
- Experience in scientific computing, data analysis, simulation or numerical methods (preferred)
- Prior data annotation, data labelling or AI/ML evaluation experience (preferred)
