Description du poste

General Postdoctoral Researcher (Masters/PhDs) - AI Training

About The Role

What if your years of research, your hard-won expertise, and your ability to think through complex problems could directly shape the AI systems that millions of people will rely on?

We're looking for postdoctoral researchers, PhD holders, and Masters-level academics to work alongside leading AI research labs - designing rigorous, high-complexity problems that push AI reasoning to its limits. This isn't data entry. This is expert-level intellectual work that puts your domain knowledge at the center of something genuinely important.

Fully remote, asynchronously structured, and flexible enough to fit around your existing commitments - this role is built for researchers who want meaningful, well-compensated work on their own terms.

• Organization: Alignerr
• Type: Hourly Contract
• Location: Remote
• Commitment: 10-40 hours/week

What You'll Do

• Design and solve advanced, multi-disciplinary problems with real-world relevance that challenge and improve AI reasoning capabilities
• Apply your domain expertise to craft complex problem statements and evaluate AI outputs with rigorous academic standards
• Review and assess AI-generated solutions across technical and scientific domains for accuracy, depth, and logical soundness
• Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and fellow domain experts to iteratively improve model performance
• Ensure academic rigor, intellectual clarity, and depth across every deliverable you produce

Who You Are

• Holder of a Master's or PhD in a STEM or highly technical field from a top-tier university
• Experienced researcher with a track record of publications, complex project work, or advanced independent research
• A clear, precise communicator - able to articulate complex ideas in writing with accuracy and structure
• Self-directed and comfortable working autonomously within an asynchronous, remote environment
• Genuinely curious and intellectually engaged - you care about getting things right

Nice to Have

• Prior experience with data annotation, evaluation systems, or AI model quality assessment
• Proficiency in Python, R, or other research-oriented programming languages
• Familiarity with AI tools, language model evaluation, or prompt design
• Cross-disciplinary research experience spanning multiple technical fields

Why Join Us

• Work directly with cutting-edge AI research labs on problems that matter
• Fully remote and asynchronous - structure your hours around your life, not the other way around
• Freelance autonomy paired with intellectually stimulating, task-based work
• Make a direct, meaningful contribution to how AI reasons through the world's hardest problems
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
