Psychologist Expert

Licensed psychologists to build the clinical and behavioral scenarios frontier AI labs use to test model judgment and safety.

AfterQuery builds the expert evaluation data that frontier AI labs use to measure and improve their models. We're hiring licensed psychologists as contractors to author and grade the clinical and behavioral scenarios those evaluations run on.

What you'll actually do

• Author realistic clinical vignettes, including risk assessment and ethical dilemmas
• Write reference responses with the clinical reasoning and safety framing behind each call
• Grade model output for clinical accuracy, ethics, and risk handling
• Flag responses that are warm, fluent, and wrong about risk, and say precisely why

Who this is for

• PhD or PsyD with an active, unencumbered US license
• 2+ years of clinical or research practice after licensure
• Depth in assessment, psychotherapy, or psychological testing
• You can write clinical reasoning clearly enough for another psychologist to follow it

Contract and pay

• $90 to $155/hr, paid weekly via Stripe. Your rate is set from your experience, not negotiated down after you start.
• Remote and fully async. No fixed hours.
• Minimum 10 hours per week, no maximum. Scale up or down week to week.
• No screen recording, no keystroke monitoring, no idle timers.
• Independent contractor. Ongoing project work rather than single task batches.

How our hiring process works

• Apply at /apply/psychologist-expert. About five minutes. Resume plus a few structured questions.
• Resume review. Every application gets read against a published rubric and gets a decision.
• Written assessment. You may be asked to take a written assessment for further placement.
• Onboarding. Sign the contractor agreement, connect Stripe, and get platform access.
• Project match. You're matched to live work in your specialty, usually within a week of onboarding. About AfterQuery
