Computational Engineering Researcher, Task Author (Remote, Contract, AI training) — AfterQuery via AI Gig Scout

AfterQuery is building a network of researchers to author and validate research-grade scientific-computing tasks for AI models, turning computational work from your own engineering research into paid evaluation tasks. It is listed at $100/hr: flexible independent-contractor work at $200 per approved task (about 2 hours each), with no cap on how many tasks you take on. Open to research-track Bachelor's students, Master's and PhD students, postdocs and recent graduates.

A strong task is real computational work you have run and debugged, such as a finite-element or CFD solver, a reaction-engineering model, a physiological model, or a structural or electromagnetic simulation. Each task has a main problem, connected subproblems, a Python reference solution and tests. You will also specify the metrics a strong solution is judged by, revise tasks from review feedback, and optionally review other experts' tasks. Areas: computational mechanics and FEM, CFD, aerospace numerical modeling, chemical and reaction engineering, biomedical modeling, civil and structural mechanics, environmental modeling and computational electromagnetics.

Requirements: research-track study or a degree in mechanical, aerospace, chemical, biomedical, civil, environmental or electrical engineering with a computational focus; hands-on experience writing your own code, preferably Python, to implement or validate engineering models and solvers (commercial software alone is not enough); the ability to work as an independent contractor without visa sponsorship (F-1 students, including OPT/CPT, are not eligible). All accepted experts undergo background and identity verification.
