About the role

This is not a traditional job — you'll draw on your hands-on expertise in Bayesian inference, time series analysis, causal modeling, or applied statistics to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI better understand advanced statistical reasoning and methodology.

This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity you can take on alongside your current work.

Complete tasks at your own pace with no set schedule or minimum hour requirement.

Responsibilities

  • Use your domain expertise to create expert-level training questions and scenarios based on real statistical modeling research and methods.
  • Review and evaluate AI-generated responses for accuracy and relevance to real-world statistical analysis and methodology.
  • Provide structured written feedback to help improve AI model performance.

Experience and education

  • PhD in Statistics, Biostatistics, Econometrics, or a related field from a top 100 US university.
  • Deep expertise in one or more areas such as Bayesian inference, time series analysis, causal inference, or regression modeling.
  • Active use of arxiv.org (stat) to stay current with research.
  • Proficiency with R, Python, Stan, or similar tools.
  • Strong written communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently in a remote, asynchronous environment.
