At the published rate, 10 hours a week would be about $650–$1,230 and 20 hours about $1,300–$2,460 before tax. Hours depend on the project, so treat this as a ceiling, not a promise.
Openings

Location
Open worldwide in the countries the employer accepts. Payments usually go out through services like PayPal or Wise, so check one of them works in your country.
Credentials
The listing asks for a PhD. Put it in the first line of your profile: reviewers screen for it before anything else.

Test tips for designers
  • Give specific, fixable critique: what is off, why, and how to fix it.
  • Keep a tight portfolio link ready; it is usually the first thing reviewed.
