AI training jobs for researchers and academics
These are the postings that ask for a PhD, a postdoc or a teaching position, in fields outside physics — psychology, sociology, social and physical sciences, and general STEM. The work is what a viva asks of you: set a hard question, answer it properly, then read a model's answer and mark it against a rubric you can defend. Several listings are research-assistant grade and pay accordingly; others want someone who has published and can design the rubric rather than apply it. The skills named across these roles are methodological rigour, protocol fidelity, source synthesis and academic writing, which is a fair description of the job. What gets screened is whether you can be precise about why something is wrong, not just that it is. The work is remote, hourly and by the project, and it fits around a post you already hold. Each posting lists its own rate.
