DESCRIPTION

Role Title: Physical Sciences Research Assistant Role Type: Contractor Location: Remote micro1 is engaging Physical Sciences Research Assistants to contribute specialized expertise to a customer's innovative project. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters. Scope of Work • Design and author advanced evaluation tasks in the physical sciences, encompassing experimental analysis, computational modeling, and technical reasoning. • Source, synthesize, and curate authentic research artifacts, including datasets (CSVs, spreadsheets), computational results, and scientific references. • Craft scenarios and problem statements reflecting the complexity of real-world technical challenges, avoiding simplified or textbook-based examples. • Define rigorous methodological approaches and quantitative solutions for each task. • Develop detailed, 35+ item grading rubrics that assess technical rigor, numerical accuracy, interpretation quality, and adherence to scientific protocols. • Document protocols and experimental reasoning with clarity to ensure reproducibility and rubric fidelity. • Collaborate with project leads to ensure each task meets high standards of methodological integrity and benchmark relevance.
