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 researchers to bring their deep domain expertise to some of the most intellectually challenging work in AI today — designing complex problems, stress-testing AI reasoning, and helping push the frontier of what AI can do.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for researchers who want to do meaningful, high-caliber work on their own schedule. If you've spent years mastering a technical field and want to put that expertise to use beyond the lab or classroom, this is the opportunity.
Organization: Alignerr
Type: Hourly Contract
Location: Remote
Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Design, develop, and solve advanced multi-disciplinary problems that challenge and improve AI reasoning capabilities
- Apply your research expertise to create complex, rigorous problem statements with real-world relevance
- Review and evaluate AI outputs for academic rigor, logical soundness, and depth
- Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and domain experts across leading research labs
- Ensure clarity, precision, and intellectual integrity across all deliverables
- Work independently on task-based assignments fully on your own schedule
