AI training jobs for PhDs and researchers

Benchmarks for frontier models are now written by researchers, because only researchers can set problems at the edge of a field. These roles ask for a PhD, postdoc or faculty background, in science, medicine or the humanities, and pay for research-grade questions, answers and reviews.
