AI & Machine Learning Researcher

Overview

Handshake is looking for computer science and AI/ML researchers to support AI research through flexible, hourly contract work. This is not a traditional job. You'll draw on your deep expertise in machine learning, artificial intelligence, and computer science research to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI better understand cutting-edge CS and AI/ML research and methodology.

This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity you can take on alongside anything else you have going on.

Details

• This project involves using your research expertise and academic knowledge to create expert-level training data and evaluate AI-generated responses for accuracy and relevance. No prior AI experience required.
• Fully remote with a flexible, asynchronous schedule and no minimum hour requirement; most contributors work approximately 5–20 hours per week when participating in an active project.
• Placement depends on current project needs, with opportunities to be considered for future projects as they become available.

Qualifications

• PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, or a related field from a top 100 US university
• Research background in areas such as:

  • Machine Learning or Artificial Intelligence

  • Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, or Neural and Evolutionary Computing
  • Robotics, Systems and Control, or Multiagent Systems
• Familiarity with arxiv.org, particularly the Computing Research Repository (cs)
• Strong written communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently and asynchronously with AI research teams.
