Masters & PhD Researcher (AI Training)
About The Role
What if your years of advanced research could directly shape how the world's most powerful AI systems think, reason, and solve problems? We're looking for Masters and PhD-level researchers to work with leading AI labs — designing complex, high-stakes problems that push AI reasoning to its limits.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for researchers who thrive on intellectual challenge. Your domain expertise will be put to work in ways that matter — helping define the frontier of what AI can and can't do.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Design, solve, and critically review advanced, multi-disciplinary problems with real-world relevance
- Apply your research expertise to construct complex problem statements that stress-test and improve AI reasoning
- Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and domain experts to enhance model performance
- Uphold academic rigor, clarity, and depth across every deliverable you produce
- Contribute meaningfully to the development of cutting-edge AI models across scientific and technical domains
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
