Overview
Handshake is looking for statistics and statistical modeling researchers to support AI research through flexible, hourly contract work. This is not a traditional job. You'll draw on your deep expertise in statistical theory, methodology, and applied modeling to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI better understand statistical research and methodology.

Placement depends on current project needs, with opportunities to be considered for future projects as they become available.
