Mathematics Researcher (Masters/PhDs)

Mathematics Researcher (Masters/PhDs) - AI Training
About The Role
What if your expertise in advanced mathematics could directly shape how AI reasons through the world's most complex problems? We're looking for Mathematics Researchers to design, solve, and evaluate challenging mathematical problems that train cutting-edge AI models to think more rigorously and accurately.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for mathematicians who want to put their graduate-level expertise to work on something genuinely impactful. No prior AI experience needed — just deep mathematical knowledge and a commitment to precision.
Organization: Alignerr
Type: Hourly Contract
Location: Remote
Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
Develop, solve, and critically review advanced mathematical problems with real-world relevance
Apply your expertise in algebra, calculus, statistics, discrete mathematics, or related areas to design complex, rigorous problem statements
Evaluate AI-generated mathematical reasoning for correctness, depth, and clarity
Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and domain experts to strengthen model performance
Ensure mathematical rigor, precision, and thoroughness across all deliverables
Work independently on task-based assignments — fully on your own schedule
Who You Are
