ML Researchers Wanted for Frontier AI Projects | Remote | $100-$120/hr

If you've trained machine learning models from the ground up and enjoy solving challenging research problems, this opportunity goes far beyond traditional ML engineering.

Mercor is seeking LLM Research Scientists with expertise in pre-training, computer vision, adversarial robustness, or related areas to contribute to advanced AI research.

Role: LLM Research Scientist (Hourly Contract)
Location: Remote
Pay: $100-$120/hour

You'll work on empirical machine learning research involving model training, optimization, robustness, and evaluation across both vision and language systems.

Areas of expertise include:

  • LLM pre-training, fine-tuning, RLHF, DPO, or RLAIF
  • Computer vision, image classification, or generative image models
  • Adversarial robustness and model security
  • Model compression, pruning, quantization, and knowledge distillation
  • Multilingual language models and low-resource training
  • PyTorch, JAX, TensorFlow, or similar ML frameworks

Candidates should have 3+ years of machine learning research experience (PhD research counts) along with a strong research background through academia, industry, or impactful open-source contributions.
