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

Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for Welocalize. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
