How much do research AI jobs pay?
How many research AI jobs are remote?
289 of 1,695 live research AI jobs are remote, a 17.1% share. Across every category, 25,934 of 140,131 live jobs are remote (18.5%), so research runs below the site average. Remote status is read from the posting's own location field, never inferred from the company. Measured October 2026.
Are there entry-level research AI jobs?
201 of 1,695 live research AI jobs are tagged intern or junior, and 438 are rated Little AI, where the work involves no AI at all. Seniority is read from the title and the posting text; 7,998 of 140,131 postings across the site do not state it, so these counts are floors. Measured October 2026.
Method: counts come from live postings in Level's catalog in the Research category. Measured October 2026. Levels follow our method.
