Students Across All Disciplines (Masters/PhD) - AI Trainer

This is a remote, project-based role for currently enrolled graduate students across academic disciplines, to contribute to an AI evaluation research project. You will apply the kind of expertise that comes from years of coursework, lab work, and field research to assess, write, and validate content that requires genuine subject-matter knowledge in your field.

Work is asynchronous, assigned on a project-by-project basis, and structured to respect your existing academic schedule. You choose which projects to accept. Expect an estimated commitment of up to 10 hours per week for each project window you take on. This role offers strong pay, genuine intellectual engagement, and a meaningful addition to your research and professional portfolio.

Why Apply

Strong compensation Earn $800–$1,500 per project week depending on discipline and seniority, with top candidates eligible for premium rates.

Intellectually engaging work Your domain knowledge directly shapes how AI systems understand your field — not busywork, but substantive expert evaluation.

Fully flexible schedule Asynchronous work you fit around your academic commitments. Accept only the projects that work for your schedule.

Responsibilities

Apply your domain expertise to evaluate, write, and validate content that requires genuine academic knowledge in your field

Assess materials for accuracy, depth, and quality from the perspective of a trained specialist in your discipline

Identify errors, ambiguities, or gaps that would be invisible to a non-expert reviewer

Provide structured written rationale and feedback for each evaluation decision

Interpret and respond to visual or diagrammatic content specific to your field (e.g. schematics, spectra, maps, clinical images, artworks, data charts)

Complete a defined set of annotation tasks within each project window (10–20 hrs/week)

Required Qualifications

Currently enrolled in a PhD, Master's, MD, or MD/PhD program

Ability to produce clear, well-reasoned written explanations of domain-specific judgments

Deep familiarity with the visual conventions and technical vocabulary of your discipline (e.g. reading spectra, interpreting schematics, analyzing maps, evaluating clinical images, or formal visual analysis)

Reliable internet access and availability for asynchronous, remote work

Strong English writing proficiency

Preferred Qualifications

Candidacy stage or beyond (qualifying exams completed, or MS3/MS4 / clinical rotations underway)

Active research experience involving image-based or visual data (microscopy, imaging, diagrammatic modeling, CAD, GIS, spectroscopy, archival visual materials)

Prior annotation, data labeling, or AI evaluation experience

Affiliation with a top research university or program with strong standing in your discipline

Familiarity with AI tools, large language models, or multimodal systems

Quantitative methods training (relevant across science, social science, business, and engineering tracks)
