About The Position

Mindrift is recruiting adults in the Los Angeles area for voluntary, in-person data collection sessions studying how people perform everyday household tasks, such as cooking and simple DIY or home-improvement projects.

The study team explains each task and the setup; there is no single required way to complete the tasks. Compensation is $200 for a full session or $100 for a half session, paid to the participant’s Mindrift account after the session. Participants may sign up for multiple sessions, with no minimum or ongoing commitment.
