## About the Role
We are looking to expand our team of expert consultants with Senior Mathematics Experts for part-time, fully-remote work supporting frontier AI research. Projects start at $80-120 USD / hour with top-performing experts on our platform earning $150+ USD / hour.
This role includes:
- * Designing **expert-level mathematics problems** today's leading models can't solve
- * Evaluating and pressure-testing leading AI models
*This is not tutoring, teaching, or generic annotation work.*
## About Aligned
At Aligned, we partner with the world's leading AI labs to push the frontier of AI knowledge in fields like STEM, medicine, law, and finance. Our platform matches **subject-matter experts** (like you) with paid consulting work on frontier projects at these labs.
Unlike low-skill freelance work on traditional consulting platforms, our community of experts set their own rates and are exclusively matched to the highest impact, top-paying projects in the industry.
## Who We’re Looking For
You are a senior mathematician with extensive experience solving **complex, research-grade problems** at world-class institutions.
- **Ideal backgrounds include:**
- * Faculty and researchers at leading mathematics departments (MIT, Princeton, Stanford, Berkeley, etc.)
- * Researchers at interdisciplinary math institutes (IAS, MSRI, IPAM, AIM, etc.)
- * Mathematicians at advanced consulting and research organizations (RAND, MITRE, IDA, etc.)
- * Scientists at national laboratories and government research institutions (Los Alamos, NSA, IDA, NIST, etc.)
- * Researchers at industrial research labs (DeepMind, Bell Labs, IBM Research, MSR, etc.)
- * Quantitative researchers at leading financial institutions (Renaissance Technologies, Citadel, Two Sigma, D.E. Shaw, etc.)
## Minimum Qualifications
- * **Fluent English** reading and writing skills
- * **PhD in Mathematics, Statistics, Operations Research**, or related field
- * **5+ years** of post-graduate research or applied mathematics experience
- * Track record at institutions recognized as leaders in your subfield
Aligned Labs works with experts who train and evaluate AI models on specialised tasks. Contributors set their own hourly rate and are invited to projects that match their expertise.
