Student Gig - Native Polish Speakers, Paid Study in NYC
Mindrift · New York, United States · Part-time · Posted 2026-10-24
Mindrift is running a research study on how people use their phones, apps and everyday digital tools, and how that differs across languages and cultures. We’re looking for native Polish speakers in New York to join a paid, 3-day in-person study in Midtown Manhattan.
About Mindrift
Most technology is still designed with English speakers in mind. This study helps researchers understand how people who communicate in Polish actually use their devices, so future products work better for them.
Responsibilities
- Spend 1-3 days with our research team in Midtown Manhattan.
- Walk us through how you use your phone and favourite apps in daily life.
- Share examples of your everyday phone activity with the research team. You decide what’s included.
- Fill in a short questionnaire about your habits.
Requirements
- 18+ and currently living in NYC.
- A native Polish speaker who grew up in Poland.
- You use Polish in everyday life: texting friends, email, notes.
- You’ve used a smartphone as your main personal phone for 3+ years.
- Comfortable communicating in English.
- Available for 3 consecutive days (Mon–Wed or Thu–Sat), starting October 16 on Friday.
- Not currently employed by a tech or AI company.
- Great fit for international students, people new to NYC, and anyone between jobs or with a flexible schedule.
Pay
$1,200–1,600 for the full study.
Simple and transparent
Participation is voluntary and covered by a signed consent form that explains exactly what’s involved. You can ask questions at any point and stop whenever you like.
How to apply
- Register on Mindrift and complete a short screening questionnaire. We’ll confirm your session dates once you’re shortlisted.
