Philosophy Expert

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

F-1 students who are eligible for CPT or OPT may be eligible for projects on Handshake AI. Work with your Designated School Official to determine your eligibility. If your school requires a CPT course, Handshake AI may not meet your school’s requirements. STEM OPT is not supported.
