Mathematics Assessment Specialist

We are seeking expert mathematicians to author and review high-quality academic assessment content. Staff will write and verify rigorous multiple-choice questions across core mathematics domains, evaluate solution quality, and establish benchmarks for advancing AI capabilities.

Task Types:

• Question Authoring: Create original, challenging multiple-choice questions in mathematical expertise areas, rate difficulty, and submit for review.
• Question Verification: Review pre-written questions for accuracy, clarity, and rigor; edit as needed, rate difficulty, and document changes.

Mathematics Domains Covered: Algebra (including Linear Algebra), Probability & Statistics, Analysis (including Calculus), Discrete Mathematics (including Combinatorics & Graph Theory), Number Theory, Geometry & Topology, ODE/PDE & Dynamical Systems, Optimization & Operations Research (including Game Theory), Computational & Numerical Mathematics, Logic, Set Theory & Foundations.

Key Responsibilities:

• Author original math questions testing deep conceptual understanding rather than surface-level recall
• Ensure questions are unambiguous, self-contained, and precisely defined with all necessary information in the problem statement
• Rate difficulty: Medium (intro undergraduate), Hard (advanced undergraduate), or Expert (post-graduate and above)
• Provide 1 correct answer and 9 plausible but subtly incorrect alternatives challenging expert solvers
• Write step-by-step Chain-of-Thought solutions with clear, concise intermediate steps in markdown format
• Supply 1-5 academic references per question from reputable sources
• Flag issues with clarity, completeness, precision, or solvability for verification tasks

Ideal Qualifications:

• PhD or doctoral candidate in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, or closely related field
• Master's degree considered for candidates with exceptional subdomain depth
• Strong command of graduate-level mathematical concepts and formal proof writing
• Experience with rigorous academic problem design or mathematical competition writing
• Excellent written English and ability to express complex ideas clearly
