Overview

Stanford University researchers seek US-based loan underwriters and loan officers for an academic survey study. You answer questions that draw on your lending experience, and the task does not involve data labeling or annotation. The work happens online through 1-2 surveys, each lasting about one hour. A small pilot group starts first, then a larger study follows. You receive $70 for each completed survey after you finish.

What You'll Do6

Complete one or two online surveys tied to the pilot or the larger study.
Answer survey questions using your firsthand knowledge of loan underwriting or loan officer work.
Share professional judgment on lending topics covered in the survey.
Finish each survey in roughly one hour.
Respond to questions about your experience with loans.
Join the pilot group first if selected, then continue to the larger study.

Requirements3

Reside in the United States.
Work or have recently worked as a loan underwriter or loan officer.
Bring at least 3-4 years of experience in lending.

Preferred Qualifications1

More than 3-4 years of lending experience.

Who Should Apply

US-based loan underwriters and loan officers with at least 3-4 years in lending who want a short, remote way to support Stanford research. The study fits professionals ready to explain their approach to loans through one or two online surveys.

Salary Insight

The study pays $70 for each completed survey, with a single payment after you finish. That flat amount fits a short research task, not a full underwriting assignment, and it covers roughly one hour of survey time per session.
