Description

Project Zion — STEM QA Reviewer (Materials Engineering)

Review STEM problems and simulated research environments for quality as training data. You will evaluate task prompts, ground truth answers, grading criteria, and model rollout transcripts across two review types:

Project A — Simulated Research Review: Assess simulated-research environments (seed + 3+ agent trajectories) for scientific realism, construction quality, and diversity.

Project B — STEM QA Review: Evaluate individual STEM problems for task clarity, ground truth correctness, grading soundness, and training data suitability. Verdict: Accept / Revise / Reject.

Requirements

  • MS or PhD in Materials Science / Materials Engineering or closely related field
  • Ability to independently verify ground truth solutions for grad-level materials problems
  • Strong scientific reasoning and written communication
  • ~2.5 reviews per week (~2-4 hours per review)
  • 3-week engagement (6/5–6/25)

What You'll Do

  • Read complex STEM problem prompts and verify golden answers
  • Evaluate grading methodology and robustness
  • Read and summarize model agent trajectories (best and worst rollouts)
  • Provide structured feedback via standardized review forms
  • Render Accept/Revise/Reject verdicts with concrete explanations

Platform

  • Work is done on HFI (Surveyor)
  • 48-hour lease per problem, extendable
  • Self-select problems within your domain expertise
