We are sharing a specialised consulting opportunity for psychologists and researchers with doctoral-level expertise in child development, developmental psychology, and related behavioural sciences to contribute to advanced AI training and evaluation initiatives.

Selected professionals will review and annotate developmentally relevant datasets, assess AI-generated outputs for psychological accuracy and cultural appropriateness, contribute to scenario and guideline development, and help ensure that AI systems handle child-development topics with appropriate cognitive, linguistic, and psychosocial understanding. The opportunity is particularly suited to professionals with strong academic or research backgrounds; direct clinical experience is not required. No prior AI experience is necessary.

Key Responsibilities

Developmental Psychology Evaluation

• Review datasets related to child development and developmental psychology
• Assess whether content reflects appropriate developmental principles
• Identify psychologically inaccurate or developmentally inappropriate material
• Evaluate outputs across cognitive, social, emotional, and behavioural dimensions
• Apply expert judgement grounded in developmental science

Dataset Review & Annotation

• Annotate child-development and psychology-related data for AI training
• Evaluate examples for accuracy, relevance, and consistency
• Provide detailed feedback on ambiguous or weakly constructed material
• Identify areas where developmental context is missing or insufficient
• Support creation of high-quality psychology-focused training datasets

Scenario & Test Case Development

• Contribute expert analysis to realistic scenarios involving children's learning and behaviour
• Develop or refine test cases representing different developmental stages
• Evaluate how age, context, environment, and individual differences affect interpretation
• Help create challenging examples that test psychological reasoning
• Ensure scenarios remain grounded in established developmental knowledge

Cultural, Linguistic & Psychosocial Review

• Assess content for cultural appropriateness across diverse backgrounds
• Evaluate developmental guidance within different linguistic and social contexts
• Review how AI systems address cognitive and psychosocial differences
• Identify assumptions that may not generalise across cultures or communities
• Support development of more inclusive and context-sensitive evaluation standards

Guideline Development & Research Collaboration

• Create or refine guidelines for developmentally appropriate AI behaviour
• Document findings and recommendations clearly for research teams
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary contributors on model improvements
• Help maintain psychological integrity across AI interactions involving child-development topics
• Contribute domain expertise to evolving research and evaluation methodologies

Ideal Profile

• Doctorate (PhD) in Child Development, Developmental Psychology, or a closely related field
• Strong academic or research expertise in child development
• Deep understanding of developmental psychology across cognitive, social, emotional, and behavioural domains
• Experience conducting research, reviewing evidence, or developing psychologically informed frameworks
• Ability to assess complex scenarios involving children's learning and behaviour
• Strong analytical judgement and attention to developmental nuance
• Excellent written communication skills
• Comfortable documenting detailed findings and recommendations
• Able to work independently in a remote digital environment
• Comfortable collaborating with distributed interdisciplinary teams
• Direct clinical experience is welcome but not required
• Experience with technology-driven, digital, or AI-related projects is highly desirable
• Prior work involving culturally diverse populations or multilingual contexts is advantageous
• No prior AI-training or model-evaluation experience is required

Language Priorities

Applicants with proficiency in one or more of the following languages are particularly encouraged:

• Japanese, French, Tagalog, Malay, Lithuanian, Russian, Georgian, or Polish
• Marathi, Bengali, Urdu, Vietnamese, or Swahili
• Mandarin, Cantonese, Indonesian, Turkish, Gujarati, or Bulgarian

Engagement Details

• Independent contractor engagement
• Fully remote
• Compensation: $100–$200/hour
• Work will involve developmental-psychology evaluation, dataset annotation, scenario development, cultural review, and guideline creation
• Academic and research expertise in child development is central to this engagement
• Direct clinical practice experience is not required
• Multilingual expertise may be especially valuable for certain assignments
• Project scope, datasets, languages, evaluation criteria, and psychological scenarios may evolve depending on research needs
• Contributors should be comfortable working independently while participating in remote interdisciplinary collaboration
• Work must be completed without using confidential, proprietary, patient-identifiable, participant-identifiable, or unpublished information belonging to any employer, research institution, healthcare organisation, client, or other third party
