AI training contract
Mathematics Expert (MSc./PhD)
Science & Research · Advertised USD 60-120 an hour. · 100 openings
Mathematics Expert (MSc./PhD) is contract work for micro1, reviewing and correcting what AI models produce in science & research. The output of the job is expert judgement written down: a model gives an answer, someone who knows the subject decides whether it is right and explains why.
What it requires. This role is gated on phd or academic credential. Applications without it are not considered, and the requirement is stated here because the original advert usually carries it well below the rate.
What it pays. micro1 advertises USD 60 to USD 120 an hour. It also states that pay is output based, paid per task that meets the project specifications, so the hourly figure is an advertised equivalent and not a guaranteed wage.

Pay: $80–$120/hour Location: Global, fully remote Job Type: Contractor (~15 hours per week) Schedule: Flexible—you can choose the hours and days you work, including weekends if desired as long as you're active. We are looking for highly skilled Mathematics Experts to contribute to an AI training project involving advanced mathematical problem-solving, computational mathematics, numerical methods, and Python. The work involves creating, solving, reviewing, and validating mathematical tasks that can be completed through programmatic, command-line-based workflows. A representative task may require translating a mathematical problem into a computational procedure, implementing the relevant equations or algorithms, calculating a reproducible result, testing special cases, and determining whether the final answer is mathematically and numerically valid. What You’ll Work On Solve and validate advanced mathematical and computational problems. Translate mathematical requirements into precise, executable workflows. Implement mathematical workflows using Python and command-line-accessible tools. Use Python to automate calculations, numerical experiments, parameter sweeps, visualization, and result validation. Required Qualifications An MS or PhD in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, Operations Research, Computational Science, Theoretical Computer Science, or a closely related quantitative field; or A BS in Mathematics or a closely related quantitative field plus at least 1–2 years of mathematics-focused professional or research experience in top companies/institutions. Strong expertise in at least one mathematical area, such as applied mathematics, numerical analysis, optimization, probability, statistics, discrete mathematics, algebra, geometry, mathematical modeling, or dynamical systems. Relevant tools may include Python, SymPy, SageMath, SciPy, CVXPY, NumPy, GNU Octave, Julia , or similar programmatic mathematical software. Experience with an equivalent CLI-accessible tool is acceptable. Relevant Python tools may include NumPy, SciPy, SymPy, pandas, Matplotlib, Jupyter, CVXPY, statsmodels, NetworkX , numerical solvers, optimization libraries, or domain-specific scientific packages. No single library is mandatory. Process Apply to the role and complete the screening questions. Complete an AI interview of approximately 30 minutes. Complete the hiring manager review. Compensation Structure Compensation is output-based. Experts are paid per task that meets the project specifications. The time required to complete each task may vary depending on the expert’s experience and workflow. Minimum submission requirements apply. Start Timeline & Availability We typically fill roles within 48 hours and are looking for experts who are ready to begin immediately. If selected, you will be expected to start your first task within 24–48 hours of completing onboarding.
