About Us
Constellation is creating the AI-human translation layer that ensures humanity evolves alongside our technology. Our mission is to leverage AI towards addressing deep and meaningful problems at the core of the human experience: empowering people towards their goals, augmenting our cognition and emotional wellness, and understanding ourselves and each other. Our path forward is to move away from AI that captures human knowledge towards AI that truly understands what it is to be human. We are generating the richest multimodal dataset ever collected to build a new class of foundation models, and we're seeking talented people to help us make this ambitious future a reality.
The Role

This is a part-time hourly contract role with flexible 3-6-hour shifts that will vary.

In this position, you'll be the main point of contact for study participants and will be curating a key part of the experience we provide for them in our labs. This role is ideal for someone with a clinical or research background who thrives in evening hours and wants flexible, meaningful work at the frontier of neuroscience and AI.
