Elite Research Scientist - Frontier AI Evaluation in Brazil at Jobgether

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for an Elite Research Scientist - Frontier AI Evaluation based in Brazil.

This opportunity is designed for exceptional scientific researchers who want to apply deep academic expertise to the evaluation of frontier AI systems. You will work at the intersection of advanced AI and rigorous scientific reasoning, assessing complex outputs against publication-level standards. The role involves evaluating proofs, derivations, theoretical arguments, and specialized scientific reasoning produced by state-of-the-art models. You will identify subtle errors, inconsistencies, and gaps that require genuine subject-matter mastery to detect. Selected researchers will collaborate with a highly accomplished international peer network across scientific disciplines. The engagement offers a flexible environment for making meaningful intellectual contributions beyond traditional academic research.

• Evaluate advanced scientific reasoning and technical outputs generated by frontier AI systems, applying rigorous standards from your area of expertise.

• Assess multi-step derivations, mathematical proofs, theoretical arguments, scientific explanations, and other domain-specific outputs for accuracy and validity.

• Identify subtle conceptual errors, logical inconsistencies, unsupported assumptions, and weaknesses that may not be apparent through surface-level review.

• Provide detailed, research-grade corrective feedback that can help improve the quality, reliability, and reasoning capabilities of advanced AI systems.

• Apply deep disciplinary knowledge to challenging evaluation problems where publication-level rigor and analytical precision are required.

• Contribute to a curated, high-caliber research network focused on advancing the reliability and performance of frontier AI.

• Maintain the highest standards of intellectual rigor throughout technical screening, evaluation assignments, and ongoing research contributions.

• PhD or near-completion of a PhD in Mathematics, Physics, Neuroscience, Chemistry, or a closely related discipline.

• Demonstrated record of peer-reviewed research published in respected academic journals or equivalent scholarly venues.

• Meaningful citation impact and evidence that your research has contributed to your field.

• Evidence of exceptional academic distinction, such as international Olympiad achievement, faculty appointment at a leading university, or comparable recognition.

• Demonstrated original contributions to your discipline and the ability to reason deeply through complex, unfamiliar problems.

• Strong analytical, critical-thinking, and problem-solving abilities, with exceptional attention to conceptual and logical detail.

• Ability to evaluate complex scientific arguments independently and communicate precise, technically sound feedback.

• High intellectual curiosity, academic integrity, and comfort working with demanding, ambiguous research problems.

• Credentials will be verified, and selected candidates will complete a technical screening designed to assess depth of scientific reasoning.

• Exceptional researchers from developing regions are particularly encouraged to apply when their academic achievements and research impact meet internationally competitive standards.

• Flexible, intellectually demanding engagement that can complement academic or research work.

• Direct exposure to challenging problems at the forefront of AI research and evaluation.

• Opportunity to apply advanced scientific expertise outside traditional academic environments.

• Collaboration with an elite international peer network spanning multiple scientific disciplines.

• Compensation aligned with the depth and caliber of specialized scientific expertise.

• Meaningful opportunity to contribute to the development and evaluation of advanced AI systems.

• Remote engagement and flexibility designed to accommodate high-level researchers and scientific professionals.
