Social Sciences, Research & Writing Expert
For researchers and writers who check sources, question study designs and write clearly.
What you would do
- Write tasks that test study design, evidence and argument, such as a survey with a sampling flaw, with reference answers.
- Fact-check model writing against a provided set of sources, and mark every claim the sources do not support.
- Edit model answers into clear, correct prose, and explain each change.
- Compare two model answers to the same question and say which is better, and why.
- Write and apply rubrics for clarity, accuracy and instruction-following.
What we look for
The minimum
- You study at or graduated from a college or university in a social science, humanities or writing field.
- A research, writing or editing project you did yourself and can explain in depth, including your sources.
- You can say what a study can and cannot show, given its design and sample.
- Care with sources, evidence and precise wording.
Ideal
- A degree in the field; a master’s or PhD is even better.
- Research, journalism, editing or teaching work, especially at an AI lab or AI company.
- Methods training, such as statistics, survey design or archival research.
- Published research or writing others cite or rely on.
How the work runs
- Task size
- Tasks take about 30 minutes to 5 hours. Each one shows its estimated time and price before you start, and you are paid that price even if it takes you more or less time.
- Pay
- Per task accepted in review: its estimated time times the project’s rate. A task estimated at 2 hours at $90 an hour pays $180. Accepted tasks are paid within 30 days.
- Hours
- Projects last 1 month to a year. Each sets a weekly minimum, usually about 20 hours of estimated work, and you choose when you work.
- Tools and review
- Your own computer, plus the sources each task gives you. Every task is reviewed against the project’s written quality standard before it is accepted.
