This role is for one of the Weekday's clients Compensation: $60-$80 per hour We are partnering with a leading AI research lab on an advanced initiative to push the boundaries of astronomy and astrophysics reasoning. This project seeks experienced astronomy experts to design challenging, Olympiad-style problems that deliberately stress-test frontier AI models and reveal gaps in their scientific reasoning. This is a short-term, high-impact, fully remote opportunity for individuals interested in applying deep domain expertise to cutting-edge AI research, with the possibility of extension based on performance. Key Responsibilities Create original, advanced International Astronomy Olympiad (IAO)-style problems designed to challenge state-of-the-art AI models. Evaluate AI-generated responses for correctness, clarity, depth, and quality of reasoning. Identify logical errors, incomplete derivations, conceptual gaps, and insufficient scientific rigor in model outputs. Develop clear, concise, and fully correct reference solutions, including step-by-step reasoning, formatted in LaTeX. Maintain exceptionally high standards of precision, scientific accuracy, and problem difficulty. Required Qualifications Mandatory: High proficiency in writing and formatting technical content using LaTeX. You are a strong fit if you meet one or more of the following: Hold a Master’s or PhD in Astronomy, Astrophysics, or a closely related field. Are a current or former participant or medalist in the International Astronomy Olympiad (IAO) or equivalent national/international competitions (e.g., RAO, CAO, USAAO, INAO, BAO, EuAO, AAO, IAO TST, or similar). Additional Requirements: Deep understanding of core theoretical and observational concepts in astronomy and astrophysics. Ability to clearly articulate complex reasoning and mathematical derivations in written form. Strong judgment in assessing the rigor, structure, and difficulty of advanced astronomy problems. Exceptional attention to detail when verifying calculations, assumptions, and conclusions. Engagement Details Time Commitment: Minimum 20 hours per week; up to 40 hours per week available Project Duration: Approximately 2 months, with potential extension based on performance and research needs Start Timeline: Rolling start dates; onboarding typically completed within 1–2 days of approval Work Model: Fully remote with a flexible, self-managed schedule Contract Type: Independent contractor Application Process Submit a resume or CV highlighting academic background and astronomy-related achievements. Complete a short interview (approximately 20–30 minutes). Fill out a brief questionnaire detailing experience with astronomy problem writing and Olympiad participation. Selected candidates will be contacted within a few days with next steps. Contract & Payment Terms Independent contractor engagement Fully remote, flexible work schedule Weekly payments via Stripe or Wise based on services rendered Project duration and scope may be adjusted based on performance and project requirements No access to confidential or proprietary information from any employer, client, or institution Visa sponsorship (H1-B, STEM OPT) is not available
