Overview
Handshake is seeking Philosophy PhDs to support AI research through flexible, hourly contract work. This is not a traditional academic or full-time role. You’ll use your advanced philosophy training to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI better understand philosophy reasoning, theoretical analysis, and technical problem-solving.
This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity that can be done alongside research, teaching, postdoctoral work, or industry employment.
Details
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
Doctoral students and graduates (including those currently enrolled in a PhD program or in postdoctoral positions) in Philosophy or closely related fields.
Candidates should have published at least one article on moral philosophy in a top generalist or ethics journal:
Philosophical Review
The Journal of Philosophy
Noûs
Philosophy and Phenomenological Research
Mind
Ethics
Philosophy & Public Affairs
Utilitas
Journal of Moral Philosophy
Oxford Studies in Normative Ethics
