Overview

As an Australian English Linguistic Expert, you’ll assess how well a large language model handles tasks such as translation, summarization, dialogue, and grammar correction. You’ll also refine and annotate language data, identify gaps in the model’s understanding, and share analysis with AI researchers to guide training. The role supports an AI research project with a leading research lab and offers part-time, remote work.

What You'll Do5

Assess the accuracy and quality of LLM-generated English across translation, summarization, dialogue, grammar correction, and other use cases.
Edit, refine, or rewrite text to meet Australian linguistic and cultural standards.
Annotate English text for grammatical, syntactic, and semantic features.
Spot model errors and language gaps, then work with AI researchers to improve model performance.
Provide detailed linguistic feedback and analysis to inform ongoing model training.

Requirements6

Native or near-native fluency in Australian English.
Excellent command of English grammar, syntax, and stylistics.
Professional experience in English translation, editing, linguistic annotation, or NLP data work.
Knowledge of Australian English nuances, regional variations, register, and context-appropriate usage, including differences from American and British English.
Strong attention to detail when identifying subtle errors and unnatural phrasing.
Clear communication skills and experience working with distributed, remote teams.

Preferred Qualifications1

Interest in AI and LLM-based language technology.

Who Should Apply

Candidates with professional English language experience and a strong grasp of Australian usage can help assess and improve an LLM’s text. The role suits someone who can recognize subtle language issues and communicate clear feedback while working remotely.
