Professors, lecturers and instructors

4 open

College and university teaching in a subject (business, economics, finance, sociology, STEM, test prep): write and grade the questions, explanations and rubrics a model is tested on.

Before you apply

This is training work for AI models, not teaching students: you write and grade what a model says. Many roles ask for classroom experience in the grade and subject they name. If you work for a school or district, check its policy on outside work first. A legitimate platform never charges you to apply.

Frequently asked questions

How much do AI training jobs for teachers pay?

Across the 23 distinct hourly rates posted for roles for teachers right now, typical pay runs from $50 to $85 an hour, with a median of $50. The highest posted rate is $150 an hour, at Handshake AI. 2 of the 30 open roles for teachers state no hourly rate, so check each listing.

Is an "AI Tutor" job a teaching job?

Not usually. "AI Tutor" is the title xAI gives its AI trainers in every field (languages, video, legal work), so it does not mean teaching. This page lists the roles that ask for teachers, educators, professors and instructors by name.

What does a teacher do in AI training?

You read how an AI model explains a topic, solves a problem or gives a student feedback, grade it against what a good teacher would say at that level, and write better explanations, questions and rubrics. It is remote, hourly contract work, and you never teach a class.

Do I need a teaching license?

It depends on the role. School teacher roles usually ask for classroom experience in the grade and subject they name, and some for a license; professor and lecturer roles ask for college teaching, usually with a graduate degree. Most projects are part time, so many teachers do them around the school year; if you work for a school or district, check its policy on outside work first.

Are these jobs legitimate?

They are posted by established AI data platforms (AfterQuery, Alignerr, Handshake AI and micro1 among them), and each platform's page here covers whether it is legit, how it vets people and how it pays. A legitimate platform never charges you to apply or to get work.
