The work
Author problems at the level of a qualifying exam and beyond, with rigorous solutions; verify model-generated proofs step by step and locate the exact point of failure; construct counterexamples; rate the quality and elegance of competing proofs. Areas in demand: algebra, analysis, topology, combinatorics, number theory, probability, PDE and optimisation.
Who it suits
- PhD in mathematics or a closely related field; postdoctoral or faculty experience a plus.
- Competition or olympiad background welcome but not required.
How it works
- Apply with your CV and the hours you can give. 5 to 20 hours a week suits most people; the work is remote and on your own schedule.
- We verify your credentials, licence or degree and your identity before any paid work. Every piece of work traces to a named, verified expert.
- A paid calibration task on the project's own guidelines comes first.
- You are paid at the rate on this page for every hour of work that passes review. Rates rise with the difficulty of the project and your track record.
