Role Summary
DataForce by TransPerfect is seeking doctoral-level experts in STEM disciplines (Physics Chemistry and Biology) to contribute to a highly specialized high-impact AI training this role you will leverage your own doctoral research to craft stumper promptscomplex PhD-level scientific problems specifically designed to be unsolvable by current Large Language Models (LLMs).
You will be responsible for designing the problem testing it against various LLMs to verify they fail documenting their flawed outputs and finally providing the authoritative step-by-step expert solution. This is an analytically demanding role that requires deep subject-matter expertise rigorous scientific reasoning and proficiency with digital documentation tools.
If you can commit 15 hours per week the project is expected to take about 6 weeks to complete. The average handling times will be shared at a later stage.
Role Responsibilities
Prompt Creation: Design original highly complex self-contained STEM problems based on your doctoral research or directly related subfields.
LLM Testing & Verification: Input your prompts into multiple designated LLMs to verify that they consistently fail to produce the correct answer (stumping the models).
Authoritative Solution Generation: Write a flawless derivation or calculation leading to the correct answer including all relevant steps explanations equations and visual diagrams.
Platform Navigation: Utilize our proprietary DataForce Platform (DFP) to draft test and format your submissions (e.g. drawing chemical structures creating physics diagrams utilizing equation editors).
Peer Review (For Senior/QA roles): Top-performing experts will be selected to review peer submissions ensuring scientific accuracy clarity and adherence to project guidelines.
