We are looking for Bilingual Portuguese STEM Expert (PhD) — AI Safety candidates for a project delivered through Mercor.
What you'll do
- Write expert-level prompts in Portuguese across specialized scientific topics.
- Evaluate and annotate model responses for scientific accuracy, helpfulness, and appropriate handling of sensitive content.
- Apply structured guidelines to classify prompts and conversations.
What you need
- PhD in chemistry, biology, or a closely related field — ongoing or completed — with the depth to write prompts across chemical, biological, or radiological and nuclear subject areas.
- Native or near-native fluency in Portuguese, plus business-level written English.
- Deep familiarity with modern laboratory and computational techniques in your subfield.
- Sound judgment around scientific safety and the responsible handling of dual-use information.
Nice to have
- Based in Portugal or the wider Western Europe region.
- Radiological and nuclear coverage from a chemistry background is welcome — radiochemistry, nuclear chemistry, energetic materials, or radiation physics all qualify.
- Demonstrated depth in a specific subfield rather than broad coverage — for example organic or inorganic synthesis, molecular biology, microbiology, virology, or genetics.
- Research or coursework touching on chemical safety and security, biosafety and biosecurity, or hazardous-materials handling.
- Experience reviewing, grading, or red-teaming technical content.
