We are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for accomplished mathematics researchers experienced in research-level problem authoring, proof construction, proof verification, formalization, conjecture exploration, and advanced mathematical reasoning evaluation.
This role supports current and upcoming remote consulting opportunities focused on advanced mathematical reasoning, research-grade problem design, proof review, model output evaluation, formalization tasks, and high-quality project execution. Selected professionals will apply frontier-level mathematical judgment to author and review challenging problems, evaluate complex reasoning, and identify subtle mathematical errors that require working researcher-level expertise.
Key Responsibilities
Professionals in this role may contribute to:
Research-Level Mathematics Problem Authoring
Author challenging mathematics problems across pure mathematics, applied mathematics, theoretical computer science, statistics, or adjacent research areas
Develop tasks involving proof construction, proof verification, problem-solving, formalization, and conjecture exploration
Create materials that require research-level mathematical reasoning rather than textbook-level pattern recognition
Design problems with clear expected reasoning paths, rigorous standards, and high technical depth
Proof Review & Mathematical Output Evaluation
Evaluate mathematical outputs for correctness, rigor, clarity, and completeness
Identify subtle errors such as unjustified steps, misapplied hypotheses, hand-waved lemmas, invalid reductions, or plausible but incorrect proofs
Assess whether proposed arguments meet the standards of working research mathematics
Provide structured feedback explaining mathematical strengths, weaknesses, and required corrections
Research Calibration & Quality Review
Collaborate with a small program team and other senior contributors on task quality and difficulty calibration
Review evaluation materials for consistency, rigor, and research relevance
Help surface areas where current mathematical reasoning systems fail
Maintain high standards of accuracy, precision, and intellectual integrity across submitted work
Ideal Profile
Strong candidates may have:
Active or recent research role as a PhD candidate, postdoc, instructor, faculty member, principal researcher, industry research mathematician, or comparable contributor
Deep research expertise in pure mathematics, applied mathematics, mathematical physics, theoretical computer science, statistics, or a related field
Strong publication record, especially in leading mathematics journals, top specialty journals, or top-tier adjacent venues
Doctoral or postdoctoral training at a highly regarded mathematics, STEM, or theoretical research institution
Research honors, fellowships, grants, competition distinctions, or comparable signals of exceptional mathematical depth
Ability to evaluate complex proofs and identify subtle mathematical issues quickly
Excellent written communication skills and strong attention to detail
Educational Background
PhD, advanced doctoral training, postdoctoral experience, or equivalent research output in mathematics or a closely related field is strongly preferred
Outstanding senior PhD students and recent graduates with strong publication records may also be a strong fit
Research backgrounds in number theory, algebra, algebraic geometry, topology, analysis, PDEs, probability, combinatorics, dynamical systems, logic, representation theory, mathematical physics, theoretical computer science, or statistics are highly relevant
Nice to Have
First-author, sole-author, or otherwise substantial research publications in highly selective mathematics or adjacent research venues
Competitive fellowships, research awards, named grants, olympiad-level distinctions, Putnam-level distinctions, or comparable research signals
Experience reviewing proofs, supervising research, designing advanced mathematical problems, or evaluating formal reasoning
Familiarity with proof formalization, mathematical logic, proof assistants, or structured mathematical verification workflows
Availability for approximately 8–20 hours per week depending on project scope
Why This Opportunity
Apply research-level mathematical expertise to structured remote consulting work
Contribute to high-quality mathematical reasoning evaluation, proof review, and problem authoring
Work on flexible assignments aligned with your research area and mathematical depth
Use your ability to identify subtle reasoning flaws that only an experienced mathematician would catch
Remote structure with competitive hourly compensation
Contract Details
Independent contractor role
Fully remote with flexible scheduling
Eligible professionals should be based in the United States depending on project needs
Expected commitment of approximately 8–20 hours per week depending on project availability
Ongoing project structure with continuation depending on program needs and expertise alignment
Competitive rates between $100–$160 per hour depending on research seniority, credentials, and project scope
Weekly payments via Stripe or Wise
Projects may be extended, shortened, or adjusted depending on scope and performance
Work will not involve access to confidential or proprietary information from any employer, client, or institution
