Mathematics AI Trainer
Mathematics AI Trainer (Remote, $40 to $125/hr)
Description:
Put your math background to work teaching AI. We're looking for mathematicians, statisticians and quantitative grad students to help a leading AI research company evaluate how AI models handle real technical work: modeling, data analysis, experiment design and technical write-ups. It's fully remote, flexible work you can do around classes, research or a current job, including evenings and weekends.
You'll build realistic problems from your own work, such as a calculation with stated assumptions and checks, a data analysis or a model you can verify. Then you'll grade how AI models solve them and document exactly where they go wrong: bad assumptions, wrong methods, answers that look right but aren't.
What we're looking for:
- Bachelor's degree or higher in mathematics, statistics or a closely related field; master's and PhD students are a great fit
- 2+ years of applied experience outside undergraduate study preferred
- Hands-on modeling and analysis in Python, R, MATLAB or similar; Python is a strong plus and required on some projects
- Comfortable with experiment design, uncertainty and common statistical traps
- Strong written English and familiarity with AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude
- Based in the US, Canada or UK
Pay and hours: $40 to $125 per hour depending on project and expertise, paid via PayPal. Minimum 10 hours a week on your own schedule, and many projects offer 30 to 40. This is an independent contractor role.
How it works: Apply here on Handshake with your resume. If your background is a fit, you'll get a link to an unpaid online skills assessment (about 1 to 2+ hours). Pass it, and you'll complete onboarding and start on paid projects.
