What the work actually involves
Taken from the live listings themselves:
- Role Overview We are seeking expert mathematicians to author and review high-quality academic assessment content for an AI research initiative.
- You will write and verify rigorous multiple-choice questions across core mathematics domains, evaluate solution quality, and help establish gold-standard benchmarks used to advance AI capabilities.
- About Turing Turing is one of the world’s fastest-growing AI companies, accelerating the advancement and deployment of powerful AI systems.
- Role Overview We are seeking a Dataset Enablement Manager to bridge the technical gap between scientific data pipelines and centralized commercial teams.
Typical responsibilities
Pulled from the live listings in this category:
- Develop and provide comprehensive, accurate, and insightful responses to complex mathematics prompts spanning undergraduate and graduate curricula.
- Review, refine, and deliver "golden responses", high-quality model answers that exemplify subject mastery for use in AI training.
- Collaborate with a distributed team of experts to ensure clarity, precision, and educational value in all mathematics content produced.
- Analyze and interpret intricate mathematical problems, proofs, and concepts, distilling them into structured and accessible explanations.
- Contribute feedback to improve project guidelines, response standards, and content workflows as the engagement evolves.
- Adhere to project requirements regarding format, quality, and timeliness of deliverables.
What employers ask for
- Doctoral students and graduates (including those currently enrolled in a PhD program or in postdoctoral positions) in Mathematics or closely related fields.
- Strong background in advanced mathematical reasoning, proof-writing, and formal logic.
- PhD in Mathematics or closely related discipline from an accredited institution.
- Proven track record of academic excellence and subject-matter expertise, especially at the graduate level.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; ability to articulate complex concepts clearly and succinctly.
- Experience authoring or reviewing mathematics materials, such as textbooks, exams, problem sets, or journal articles.
How the pay is spread
Half of the listings with a published rate fall between $70 and $85 an hour. The bottom of the range is $40 and the top is $160. Rate depends far more on credentials and specialism than on which platform you use.
Which platform to start with
Turing currently lists the most roles in this category (7 of 16). Platforms differ mainly in eligibility and how they screen, not in the kind of work. See which platforms hire in your country before you spend time on applications.
How to apply
Applications are completed on the hiring platform, not on this site. Most of these platforms screen with a short qualification step before routing you to paid work, so a complete profile matters more than a long cover letter. Applying is free and none of these platforms charge a fee to start.
