Ultra helps people navigate the most complex problems in their life: things like how to teach their kids, how to get into college, how to pick and break into a career.

Our first vertical is college admissions. We are backed by General Catalyst and amazing angels from Uber and Lyft.

Ultra is an AI friend and social network for ambitious students. We are looking to work with one or two research mentors to develop how we can make an AI research mentor for students, and to trial teach a few students to learn about how we could build this product.

The ideal profile for this kind of job is someone who is currently a researcher (bachelors or masters), a PhD student, or a post-doc, and is passionate about education and teaching. Having a degree from a prestigious program is a must, and ideally the candidate should have published or researched with an accomplished academic, such that you have the institutional knowledge on how publishing in your field works (in other words Ivy+ to ~T20 US universities for Master’s with research experience or PhD; Oxbridge or similar UK level universities may apply too).

The pay for this position ranges from $50/hr and upwards of $100/hr depending on credentials, teaching aptitude, and matches with students.
