About this opportunity

Welo Data is building a talent pipeline of PhD-level experts in South Korea in anticipation of upcoming work with a major AI client. This is not a role starting immediately — it's an early call for experts so we're ready to move the moment the project is confirmed. Register your interest now to be considered first when positions open.

Project Details

  • Location: Remote in Korea
  • Compensation: US$60/hour, paid for confirmed project work once it begins.
  • Engagement type: Freelance / Independent Contractor
  • Status: Building talent pipeline for upcoming project — not an immediate start

Who we're looking for

We're looking for depth of expertise, not general familiarity:

  • A completed PhD (or ABD near completion) in one of the following fields:
  • Social & Behavioral Science (psychology, sociology, anthropology, political science, economics, etc.)
  • Humanities (history, philosophy, religious studies, area studies, etc.)
  • Arts (art history, performance studies, music, media & cultural studies, etc.)
  • Language & Linguistics (Korean language, translation studies, applied linguistics, literature, etc.)
  • Native or professional fluency in Korean
  • Strong writing and reasoning skills — able to explain nuanced ideas clearly
  • Comfort working independently in a remote, deadline-driven setting

What the work will look like

Once confirmed, selected experts will help train and evaluate AI models by:

  • Writing, reviewing, and grading responses within their field of expertise
  • Assessing AI-generated outputs for accuracy, reasoning, and nuance
  • Providing structured, actionable feedback to improve model performance
  • Applying doctoral-level judgment to specialized, real-world tasks

Why join the pipeline now

  • Priority consideration when this (and future) projects open
  • Flexible, remote, project-based work well suited to researchers and academics
  • Meaningful work applying your expertise to real AI systems
