Public Policy Economist (AI Training)
About the Role
We're looking for economists with public policy experience to help shape how the next generation of AI systems understands economic reasoning, policy analysis, and real-world tradeoffs.
Your expertise will directly influence how AI models think about regulation, welfare programs, fiscal policy, and applied economics — work that matters far beyond any single project.

- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Review and evaluate AI-generated public policy content and applied economics analysis for accuracy, rigor, and real-world relevance
- Assess economic reasoning related to regulation, welfare, taxation, and public programs
- Identify flawed assumptions, logical gaps, or misleading conclusions in AI outputs
- Provide structured, detailed written feedback to improve the quality of AI training data
- Validate economic scenarios, policy recommendations, and supporting arguments
- Work independently and asynchronously on your own schedule
Who You Are
- 3+ years of experience working or teaching in public policy, applied economics, or a closely related field
- Strong command of policy analysis, economic tradeoffs, and evidence-based reasoning
- Able to critically evaluate written economic arguments and recommendations
- Clear, precise written communicator comfortable delivering detailed feedback
- Self-motivated and reliable when working independently
Nice to Have
- Graduate degree in Economics, Public Policy, or a related discipline
- Professional experience in government, think tanks, academia, or policy research organizations
- Familiarity with AI systems or content evaluation workflows
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI projects with top research labs
- Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule, from anywhere
- Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
- Contribute to meaningful work that directly improves how AI reasons about economics and policy
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
