Overview

AfterQuery hires undergraduates from research universities to judge AI-generated and AI-adjacent material using the subject knowledge they have built through coursework, labs, and independent study. Each project hands you a batch of content to review, write, and fact-check in your own discipline, from spectra and schematics to clinical images, maps, and formal visual analysis. You pick the project windows that fit around classes, then work through a defined task set on your own schedule. Pay runs $100 per hour, with project weeks landing between $800 and $1,500 depending on field and seniority.

What You'll Do7

  • Review submitted materials for correctness, depth, and quality as a trained specialist in your field would
  • Catch mistakes, unclear passages, and missing context that a generalist reviewer would miss
  • Write structured justifications for every accept, reject, or revision call you make
  • Interpret field-specific visuals such as diagrams, spectra, maps, charts, schematics, or clinical imagery
  • Author or rewrite explanatory content that demands real academic grounding in your discipline
  • Finish an assigned batch of annotation tasks inside each project window, roughly 10 to 20 hours per week
  • Flag where an AI system misreads domain conventions and explain the correct reading

Requirements5

  • Enrolled as a junior or senior undergraduate at a research university with strong academic standing
  • Ability to explain domain judgments in clear, well-reasoned prose
  • Comfort reading the visual formats and technical vocabulary of your field, whether that means spectra, schematics, maps, clinical images, or artwork
  • Solid English writing skills
  • Reliable internet access and availability for asynchronous remote work

Who Should Apply

Junior and senior undergrads at research universities who can defend a judgment in writing and read the visual material of their field, whether that is a spectrum, a schematic, a map, or a clinical scan. Research experience with image-based data helps, and so does prior annotation or AI evaluation work.

Salary Insight

The posted rate is $100 per hour, and a full project week typically pays $800 to $1,500 based on discipline and seniority, with premium rates available to top candidates. That sits well above most undergraduate research assistant and campus job pay, which is why the work draws competitive applicants.
