Nuclear Science & Engineering Expert (AI Safety)
About this opportunity
AfterQuery is looking for nuclear science and engineering experts to help make AI models safer in their domain. You'll author and review evaluation tasks that test whether a model can tell a safe request from an unsafe one, and write the expert analysis behind each call: what makes a prompt acceptable, where it crosses a line, and why.
Requirements
• Master's degree or higher in nuclear science, nuclear engineering, or a closely related discipline
• Citizenship of a Five Eyes country (United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand)
• Physically located in one of those countries while doing the work
• Able to explain the technical reasoning behind a safety judgment clearly and precisely
Pay: $150/hr equivalent, paid at $85 per approved task. Remote, flexible, task-based.
Responsibilities:
• Author prompts and scenarios that probe the boundary between safe and unsafe requests in your field
• Review and classify prompts written by other experts as safe or unsafe
• Write the domain analysis behind each judgment: why a prompt is acceptable or where it crosses a line
• Revise your work based on structured reviewer feedback
Required qualifications:
• Master's degree or higher in nuclear science, nuclear engineering, or a closely related discipline
• Citizen of a Five Eyes country: United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand
• Physically located in one of those five countries while doing the work
• Able to explain the technical reasoning behind a safety judgment clearly and precisely
Preferred qualifications:
• PhD, or professional experience in reactor operations, nuclear safety, safeguards, or national laboratory research
• Prior experience in AI evaluation, red teaming, or data annotation work
Why apply:
• $150/hr equivalent, paid at $85 per approved task
• Remote and flexible: task-based work on your own schedule
• Use your expertise to directly shape how AI models handle safety-critical questions in your field
