Overview

Handshake AI seeks statistical modeling researchers for a part-time fellowship that fits around existing commitments. You will apply deep knowledge in Bayesian inference, time series analysis, causal modeling, or applied statistics to assess AI-generated answers and flag gaps in reasoning. The work is project-based, remote, and self-paced, with no minimum hours. Your reviews and written critiques help models handle advanced statistical methodology with greater care.

What You'll Do6

  • Build expert-level training prompts and scenarios drawn from real statistical modeling projects and methods.
  • Assess AI responses for mathematical accuracy, methodological soundness, and relevance to practical statistical analysis.
  • Write structured feedback that names errors, missing assumptions, and weak reasoning in model outputs.
  • Use current arxiv stat research to shape question design and evaluation criteria.
  • Check calculations and modeling claims with tools such as R, Python, or Stan.
  • Set your own schedule and finish tasks at a pace that works for you, with no minimum hour requirement.

Requirements5

  • PhD in statistics, biostatistics, econometrics, or a related field from a top 100 US university.
  • Deep command of at least one area: Bayesian inference, time series analysis, causal inference, or regression modeling.
  • Regular use of arxiv.org (stat) to follow new research.
  • Hands-on skill with R, Python, Stan, or comparable statistical software.
  • Strong writing, close attention to detail, and comfort working alone in a remote asynchronous setting.

Who Should Apply

The strongest candidate holds a statistics, biostatistics, econometrics, or related PhD from a top 100 US university and uses Bayesian inference, time series, causal inference, or regression modeling in current research. You also read arxiv stat papers and can write precise critiques in R, Python, or Stan. This fellowship suits someone who wants flexible project work alongside a primary academic or industry role. The role does not suit researchers who need fixed hours, close supervision, or frequent live collaboration. Candidates often lose fit when they list statistical methods without showing hands-on research use, or when their written feedback lacks clear structure and evidence.

Salary Insight

Pay reaches up to $75.00 per hour, and final offers reflect your statistical modeling depth and project scope. The top rate signals demand for PhD-level expertise in Bayesian inference, time series, causal inference, or regression modeling. No fixed salary or benefits appear in the listing because the engagement is project-based and part-time.
