Role OverviewMercor connects elite creative and technical talent with leading AI research labs. As a Mathematics Expert, you will author original math questions that test deep conceptual understanding, not surface-level recall. You will ensure questions are unambiguous, self-contained, and precisely defined, and provide 1 correct answer and 9 plausible but subtly incorrect alternatives. You will also write step-by-step Chain-of-Thought solutions with clear, concise intermediate steps in markdown format.
What You Will Do
Your day-to-day responsibilities will include writing original math questions, rating question difficulty, providing academic references, and flagging issues with clarity, completeness, precision, or solvability for verification tasks.
Why It Might Be a Fit
This role requires a strong command of graduate-level mathematical concepts and formal proof writing, as well as excellent written English skills. Experience with rigorous academic problem design or mathematical competition writing is preferred.
Requirements
- PhD or doctoral candidate in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, or a closely related field
- Master's degree considered for candidates with exceptional depth in a specific subdomain
- Strong command of graduate-level mathematical concepts and formal proof writing
- Excellent written English and ability to express complex ideas clearly and concisely
