Recruiting Subject Matter Experts in Mathematics

OVERVIEW

We've partnered with a firm to bring an exciting new set of opportunities to our Solver Community. Wazoku Crowd is searching for Subject Matter Experts with a background in Mathematics and considerable expertise in the area. 

We are seeking information about qualified, interested, and available experts in mathematics, in order to shortlist them for a January 2025 role with the partner firm. The opportunity surrounds flexible working in a team to develop and collaborate on training an advanced AI math model for one of the partner's clients. The opportunity itself would pay up to $30/hour, dependent on experience.

This Challenge is open to experienced candidates with relevant academic qualifications, a broad range of expertise, and a comprehensive understanding of academic curricula across graduate level mathematics courses. 

Interested candidates should apply with a Collaboration Proposal (detailing expertise, relevance, and interest) and General Information about the Solver (including contact information and organization/academic affiliation, if applicable).

Specific information about the scope of the opportunity and working arrangements will be provided to applicants shortlisted by Wazoku after the due date of this Challenge. Please submit your interest, expertise, and collaboration proposal with a view to further conversation and project definition.

Submissions to this Challenge must be received by 11:59 PM (US Eastern Time) on January 07, 2025. 

Late submissions will not be considered.

THE CHALLENGE

Wazoku Crowd is looking for individuals with deep mathematics expertise and the interest to offer their technical know-how in a paid opportunity/role in early 2025. This Challenge is seeking the best, most qualified candidates who could share their expertise to train advanced AI models in different subjects, with this one focused on advanced mathematics and relevant subtopics.

The opportunity involves writing and solving problems, grading answers, and determining assessment criteria - treating the AI model as your 'student' in mathematics. 

The ideal applicant would be:

1. Qualified – requiring at minimum a Master’s degree in Mathematics or closely-related fields;
2. Available – with requisite time to engage in paid-for work in January 2025, with at minimum 10 hours available to be applied to the project(s);
3. Interested – detailing your passion, breadth of knowledge, and previous experience completing consulting or project work in mathematics.

It is expected that the ideal candidates would have in-depth knowledge of advanced mathematics topics including, but not limited to:

• Linear Algebra
• Discrete Mathematics
• Topology
• Combinatorics
• Number Theory and Game Theory

Solvers should also detail their experience solving interdisciplinary mathematical problems that combine multiple advanced topics, either from the above or as stated by the applicant. 

The ideal candidate is someone who possesses a balanced mix of subject matter expertise, higher studies, research experience, and teaching or tutoring experience. This position is unique in its reliance on your competencies rather than formal experience, offering a rare opportunity perfect for those eager to apply their knowledge in the AI space.

As part of the role opportunity, you would spend the bulk of your time creating data for a language model (to improve its performance and accuracy). The tasks involved may include:

• Solving problems in Math and assessing a model’s ability to answer questions in the stated fields, perhaps even determining the appropriate criteria for assessment of a given question
• Your work will consistently involve reading, analyzing, and applying instructions to tasks. Additionally, your experience will apply in improving the clarity of these instructions.
• You will consistently observe and correct any unethical practices, inappropriateness, or inaccuracies in the model outputs.
• You will also spend some of your time attending training sessions and meetings to learn about new campaigns, stay informed on the latest developments, and share your insights and observations with leads and other team members.

Please note: more specific details about the scope of work for the role, potential remuneration, and ongoing commitments will be shared with shortlisted applicants in interviews from early- to mid-January, after the due date for applications.

PROJECT CRITERIA

This is a Scouting Challenge; the Solver will only need to submit a written proposal to be evaluated by the Wazoku Crowd with a goal of referring the Solver for further consultative work with the partner firm.

Your submitted proposals should include two parts:

1. Collaboration Proposal including:
   1. Curriculum vitae or résumé outlining qualifications, academic experience, and employment history
   2. Cover letter describing skill set, capabilities, and relevant experience in the above topics in the field of advanced mathematics
2. General Information about the Solver including:
   1. Contact information, including phone number and email address
   2. Organization/Company/University name and address (if applicable)
       

NOTE: For a Scouting Challenge, Solvers are required to include up-to-date personal contact information.

Submissions to this Challenge must be received by 11:59 PM (US Eastern Time) on January 07, 2025. 

Late submissions will not be considered.
