AI Research Assistant

Job Description

The AI Research Assistant supports artificial intelligence research projects by gathering information, reviewing available sources, organising research materials, and assisting with the evaluation of AI-generated responses. The role involves conducting structured online research, identifying relevant information, comparing findings from multiple sources, and preparing organised summaries that can support AI development, testing, and knowledge improvement.

The successful candidate will assist researchers and project teams in investigating different subjects, locating credible information, identifying relevant studies, and extracting useful findings from articles, reports, publications, and technical documents. They will also help evaluate whether AI-generated responses accurately reflect the information contained in the available research materials.

This position requires strong research abilities, independent thinking, excellent written communication, and the ability to distinguish reliable information from inaccurate or poorly supported content. Research assistants must be capable of handling multiple topics, following specific research instructions, and documenting their findings in a clear and organised format.

The role may also involve supporting research datasets, preparing reference materials, reviewing source citations, and assisting with experiments designed to measure the performance of AI systems.

Conduct online and documentary research on assigned subjects.
Locate credible sources, academic publications, reports, and relevant reference materials.
Collect, organise, and summarise information from multiple sources.
Compare research findings and identify areas of agreement or disagreement.
Assist in verifying information generated by artificial intelligence systems.
Review source citations and determine whether they support the claims being made.
Prepare research summaries, notes, and structured documentation.
Identify gaps in available information and recommend additional research areas.
Maintain organised records of research sources and findings.
Support research teams with data collection, analysis, and project documentation.
Qualifications and Requirements:

Bachelor’s degree in Research, Social Sciences, Humanities, Computer Science, Business, or a related field is preferred.
Strong internet research and information-gathering abilities.
Excellent reading comprehension and written communication skills.
Ability to evaluate source credibility and relevance.
Familiarity with academic search engines, online databases, and research tools.
Good organisational and time-management skills.
Ability to summarise complex information accurately.
Previous experience in research assistance, content research, or academic support is an advantage.
