Korean PhD Subject Matter Experts

About the company

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.

Your tasks

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

Requirements

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 we offer

• 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
