AI Tutor, Humanities, Temporary

About the Role

This is a temporary position with SpaceXSI, for a duration of 6 months, with potential for extensions or conversion to a permanent role based on business needs.

Key Responsibilities

• Evaluate model outputs in your field for factual accuracy, logical coherence, fallacious reasoning, and hidden assumptions.
• Flag confident-sounding errors, anachronism, misused sources, ideological slant, and claims that outrun the evidence.
• Create exemplary responses and datasets that show intellectual honesty, careful source evaluation, and a clear distinction between primary evidence, secondary interpretation, and speculation.
• "Steel-man" opposing views before criticizing them, and mark what is settled, contested, or unknown.
• Ground annotations and reference answers in primary sources whenever they exist, then weigh secondary scholarship against that record.
• Collaborate with technical staff to design evaluation guidelines, rubrics, and examples that test and strengthen Grok's behavior and personality in the humanities.
• Help define what good model behavior looks like in contested humanistic questions: precise, sourced, proportionately confident, and resistant to fashionable or motivated readings.

Position Details

• Length of Position: 6 months (extensions or conversion to a permanent role may be available based on business needs)
• Location: Remote (United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia)

• Experience in teaching, academic peer review, archival research, textual criticism, historiography, or formal argument analysis.
• Range across more than one listed field, or across historically and culturally distinct canons within a field.
• Ability to assess arguments for validity, soundness, hidden premises, and category errors, not only for surface correctness.
• Excellent analytical writing in English: clear, precise, and calibrated to the strength of the evidence.
• Comfort working from evolving instructions to produce annotations, critiques, and reference answers at a consistently high standard.
• Familiarity with evaluating AI or LLM outputs, building benchmarks, or creating training data.
