[Hiring] Math Question Review Expert @24-MAG

Role Description

We are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for professionals experienced in mathematics, applied mathematics, statistics, formal proof writing, academic assessment design, question authoring, and structured mathematical content review. This role supports current and upcoming remote consulting opportunities focused on high-quality mathematics assessment development, multiple-choice question writing, academic content verification, reference solution review, and rigorous mathematical reasoning evaluation. Selected professionals will apply their mathematics expertise to author, review, and validate challenging assessment materials across core mathematical domains.

Key Responsibilities

• Mathematics Question Authoring
  • Create original, challenging multiple-choice questions across core mathematics domains.
  • Design questions that test deep conceptual understanding, formal reasoning, proof-based thinking, and applied problem-solving.
  • Ensure each question is precise, self-contained, unambiguous, and answerable based on the information provided.
  • Develop plausible answer choices that challenge advanced learners and expert reviewers.
• Reasoning, Solution Writing & Difficulty Calibration
  • Write clear reference solutions in structured markdown format.
  • Rate question difficulty across levels such as introductory undergraduate, advanced undergraduate, or postgraduate-level expertise.
  • Provide academic references from reputable sources such as peer-reviewed journals, university materials, or recognized mathematical resources.
  • Ensure solutions are accurate, concise, logically sound, and aligned with the intended mathematical concept.
• Question Verification & Academic Review
  • Review pre-written mathematics questions for accuracy, clarity, rigor, completeness, and solvability.
  • Flag issues involving ambiguity, missing assumptions, weak distractors, unclear wording, or incorrect answer logic.
  • Edit questions where needed and document the rationale for changes.
  • Maintain high standards for mathematical precision, academic quality, and assessment reliability.

Qualifications

• Advanced expertise in mathematics, applied mathematics, statistics, or closely related quantitative fields.
• Strong command of graduate-level mathematical concepts, formal proof writing, and rigorous reasoning.
• Experience authoring, reviewing, teaching, grading, or verifying academic assessment content.
• Ability to express complex mathematical ideas clearly and concisely in written English.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to identify subtle logical, technical, or conceptual issues.
• Comfort working independently on asynchronous academic review tasks.

Educational Background

• PhD or doctoral candidacy in mathematics, applied mathematics, statistics, or a closely related field is highly relevant.
• Master's degree may be suitable for candidates with exceptional depth in a specific mathematics subdomain.
• Equivalent experience in advanced research, teaching, academic writing, mathematical competition writing, assessment design, or scholarly review may also be valuable.

Nice to Have

• Experience with rigorous academic problem design, mathematical competition writing, research publications, university teaching, or advanced tutoring.
• Familiarity with various mathematical topics including algebra, linear algebra, probability, statistics, analysis, calculus, discrete mathematics, combinatorics, graph theory, number theory, geometry, topology, ODE/PDE, dynamical systems, optimization, operations research, game theory, computational mathematics, numerical methods, logic, set theory, or foundations.
• Experience preparing or reviewing exam questions, benchmark tasks, academic rubrics, reference solutions, or mathematics problem sets.
• Strong comfort with markdown formatting, mathematical notation, academic references, and structured review workflows.
• Availability for approximately 10+ hours per week depending on project needs.

Why This Opportunity

• Apply advanced mathematics expertise to structured remote project work.
• Contribute to high-quality academic benchmark development, question authoring, solution review, and mathematical reasoning evaluation.
• Work on flexible assignments aligned with your academic, research, or mathematical background.
• Use your technical judgment in a rigorous, detail-oriented review environment.
• Remote structure with competitive hourly compensation.

Contract Details

• Independent contractor role.
• Fully remote with flexible scheduling.
• Part-time commitment of approximately 10+ hours per week depending on project availability.
• Competitive rates between $40–$75 per hour depending on expertise.
• Weekly payments via Stripe or Wise.
• Projects may be extended, shortened, or adjusted depending on scope and performance.
• Work will not involve access to confidential or proprietary information from any employer, client, or institution.
