  • Review and validate economics data, queries, and proposed solutions for accuracy, completeness, and alignment with current methodologies.
  • Develop robust explanations and justifications across a range of topics, from foundational principles to specialized subfields.
  • Create high-quality "golden responses" that serve as benchmarks for model training.
  • Document the context and rationale behind each response to support model interpretability and downstream annotation work.
  • Collaborate remotely with annotation leads and project managers to refine requirements and ensure deliverables meet project standards.
  • Participate in remote discussions and workshops to align on strategic objectives and maintain consistency across contributors.
Qualifications
  • PhD in Economics or a closely related field, demonstrating subject-matter expertise.
  • Strong command of microeconomics and macroeconomics, with attention to detail and methodological rigor.
  • Exceptional ability to communicate complex economics concepts clearly and precisely, in writing and verbally.
  • Experience producing, reviewing, or publishing scientific, technical, or educational economics materials, such as peer-reviewed articles, research reports, or curricula.
  • Familiarity with multiple economics sub-disciplines, for example econometrics, behavioral economics, labor economics, or international economics, and the ability to tailor explanations for different audiences.
  • Collaborative experience in remote or cross-functional teams is preferred.
  • Background in AI, data annotation, or digital content projects is advantageous but not required.
Work Terms
  • Engagement type: Contractor, remote.
  • Compensation is output-based, experts are paid per task that meets project specifications.
  • The time required to complete tasks varies by expert and task complexity.
  • Minimum submission requirements apply; experts must submit a minimum number of tasks per week.
  • Roles are typically filled quickly, often within 48 hours, and selected experts are expected to begin their first tasks within 24 to 48 hours after completing onboarding.
Compensation
  • Pay range: $80 to $90 per hour.
  • Payment is tied to task completion and conformance with project specifications rather than strictly to billed hours.
Eligibility

  • Remote work capability is required, including reliable internet and ability to participate in remote workshops and discussions.
  • No prior AI experience is required; domain expertise and clear communication are the key selection factors.
