Frequently asked questions
How do I apply for the STEM Professor role at Handshake AI?

Is the STEM Professor role at Handshake AI remote?
Handshake AI left the location field empty on this listing, so there is nothing to report rather than something we've withheld. The constraint that still applies is Handshake AI's overall coverage: Many roles require US work authorisation.
What does the STEM Professor role at Handshake AI pay?
Handshake AI lists this role's pay as Up to $150/hr, quoted from the listing rather than estimated.
What kind of work is STEM Professor?
Research / analysis. Generalist and specialist AI evaluation and training projects
Is Handshake AI a legitimate AI-training platform?
Handshake AI fellowship / opportunity network - and that relationship is rated "Confirmed" here because it can be checked against joinhandshake.com rather than taken on Handshake AI's word. Confidence describes how well the ownership is evidenced. It is not a rating of how the platform treats the people who work for it, which no public source covers reliably.
