Opportunities
"I feel like our needs as fellows are being considered very thoughtfully. And I think it's really well organized. The pay is awesome. I wouldn’t have expected to get that kind of work if I’d never heard of anything like this before.”
Kat Mueller
PhD, Cell & Molecular Biology
"I’ve had other gigs where pay rates changed mid-project or projects disappeared. At Handshake, rates are posted upfront. They never move, never change, and there’s a clear communication to who you talk to about the management about the project.”
Guga Gogia
PhD, Physics
"After 3 or 4 months of working with handshake, I had this feeling, ‘This is the right place for me.’ I can use not only my math skills here, but also my life skills—because we want to make the model learn something new.”
Nasser Heyradi
PhD, Mathematics
"With Handshake, because I’m a chem domain lead, I get to apply my knowledge and explore it in more depth as I help as a reviewer to answer questions and give ideas…”
Tosha Laughin
PhD, Chemistry
