Remote

We are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for PhD-level STEM experts with native or near-native Italian fluency and advanced scientific expertise across chemistry biology or closely related technical disciplines.

This role focuses on applying scientific expertise and bilingual language skills to evaluate specialised technical content in Italian. Selected experts will develop advanced scientific prompts assess technical responses for accuracy and quality and apply structured evaluation standards to sensitive and dual-use scientific subject matter. Prior AI or machine-learning experience is not required.

Key Responsibilities

Scientific Content Development

• Write expert-level scientific prompts in Italian
• Develop technically rigorous content across specialised STEM subject areas
• Apply advanced subject-matter knowledge to realistic scientific scenarios
• Ensure scientific terminology and concepts are accurate and appropriately framed
• Produce content suitable for expert-level technical evaluation

Scientific Accuracy Review

• Evaluate technical responses for scientific accuracy relevance and helpfulness
• Identify incorrect assumptions terminology mechanisms or conclusions
• Assess whether scientific reasoning is technically sound
• Distinguish substantive scientific errors from minor presentation issues
• Apply professional research judgement when reviewing complex material

Technical Evaluation & Annotation

• Review and annotate scientific responses against structured criteria
• Classify prompts and conversations consistently
• Assess whether responses appropriately address specialised technical questions
• Identify nuanced issues requiring expert scientific judgement
• Provide concise written explanations supporting evaluation decisions

Scientific Safety & Dual-Use Review

• Evaluate technical content involving potentially sensitive or dual-use information
• Apply structured guidelines to scientific safety considerations
• Exercise sound judgement across chemical biological radiological and nuclear subject matter where relevant to your expertise
• Identify cases requiring additional caution or contextual evaluation
• Document the reasoning behind scientific safety judgements clearly

Laboratory & Computational Expertise

• Apply knowledge of modern laboratory and computational techniques within your specialist field
• Evaluate whether described scientific methods reflect contemporary research practice
• Review experimental assumptions and technical workflows
• Assess methodology terminology and scientific reasoning
• Apply deep specialist expertise within your particular scientific discipline

Italian Language Review

• Produce technically accurate and natural Italian-language scientific content
• Evaluate specialist terminology for linguistic and scientific precision
• Identify wording that changes or obscures technical meaning
• Apply native or near-native linguistic and cultural judgement
• Communicate clearly in written English when documenting evaluation decisions

Ideal Profile

• PhD completed or currently in progress in chemistry biology or a closely related STEM discipline
