From the Terac listing
We're hiring advanced STEM experts to improve the scientific reasoning capabilities of sophisticated AI systems. This ongoing project focuses on generating highly complex, graduate-level academic problems with exact, verifiable answers. The work directly supports the development of models that can handle rigorous technical reasoning.
How It Works
Participants will create original graduate-to-PhD-level problems in their specific area of expertise. You will write a rigorous step-by-step solution for each problem, ensuring accuracy and logical flow. In some tasks, you may also review AI-generated responses to identify specific reasoning errors. The work requires deep subject-matter knowledge and careful technical writing throughout the process.
Who This Is For
This opportunity is designed for individuals with deep subject-matter knowledge in technical disciplines. We welcome PhD candidates, PhD holders, postdoctoral researchers, and faculty members with strong analytical reasoning skills. Relevant fields include biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, and selected engineering disciplines.
What You'll Do
- Create original graduate-to-PhD-level academic problems in your field
- Write rigorous, step-by-step solutions with exact and verifiable answers
- Review AI-generated responses to complex scientific questions
- Identify specific logical or reasoning errors in technical texts
Who Should Apply
- Advanced degree holder or candidate in a STEM field
- Deep subject-matter expertise in biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, or engineering
- Strong analytical reasoning and technical writing skills
- Experience solving, teaching, or developing advanced academic problems

How applying on Terac works
You create an expert account on Terac and then apply to individual opportunities. Terac's documentation says anyone with an account can take part in its referral scheme without having completed opportunities themselves (referral policy). A sitemap sample also showed that closed listings can stay online and read "This listing has closed", so a stale page is not a live opening (Terac sitemap).
