AI Tutor, Humanities - Temporary

The role

You will help improve Grok by evaluating model outputs and writing training data in humanities fields such as history, philosophy, literature and linguistics. The work focuses on accuracy, sourcing and honest uncertainty, not creative writing.

What you will do

• 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 showing intellectual honesty 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
• Collaborate with technical staff to design evaluation guidelines, rubrics and examples
• Help define good model behavior in contested humanistic questions

Required qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or higher in linguistics, history, classical studies, literature, poetry, philosophy, ethics, visual arts, performing arts, or an equivalent field
• Must be willing to travel to a SpaceXSI site

Nice to have

• PhD in one of the listed fields, or equivalent demonstrated scholarly depth
• Published analytical work such as peer-reviewed articles, monographs, critical editions or catalog essays
• 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
• Excellent analytical writing in English, calibrated to the strength of the evidence
• Comfort working from evolving instructions at a consistently high standard
• Familiarity with evaluating AI or LLM outputs, building benchmarks or creating training data
• Public writing or lectures that make difficult humanistic material accurate without flattening it

Benefits

• Benefits vary by employment type, location and jurisdiction; details provided during the interview process
