Job description
Role Title: Economics Expert (PhD)
Role Type: Contractor
Location: Remote
micro1 is engaging Economics Experts (PhD) to contribute advanced subject-matter expertise to a customer's AI training initiative. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters.
Scope of Work
- Produce precise, comprehensive, and well-articulated responses to advanced economics prompts, focusing on clarity, depth, and educational value rather than rubric-based scoring.
- Review and validate economics data, queries, and proposed solutions to ensure accuracy, completeness, and alignment with current methodologies.
- Develop robust explanations and justifications across a spectrum of economics concepts, from foundational principles to specialized topics.
- Collaborate with annotation leads and project managers to refine project requirements, ensuring delivery of top-quality content for AI model advancement.
- Create "golden responses" that serve as benchmarks for model training, setting high standards for future outputs.
- Document the context and rationale behind each response to enhance model interpretability and support further annotation efforts.
- Participate in remote discussions and workshops to clarify strategic objectives and foster cohesive contributor alignment.
Preferred Qualifications
- PhD in Economics or a closely related field with proven expertise in both core and specialized areas of economics.
- Exceptional ability to communicate complex economics concepts with precision and clarity, both in writing and verbally.
- Demonstrated experience developing, reviewing, or publishing scientific, technical, or educational economics materials (e.g., peer-reviewed articles, research reports, curriculum).
- Broad familiarity with multiple economics sub-disciplines (such as microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, behavioral economics, labor, or international economics), and adaptability in tailoring explanations for varied audiences.
- Strong attention to detail with a dedication to analytical rigor and methodological accuracy.
- Background in AI, data annotation, or digital content projects is advantageous but not mandatory.
- Proven collaboration skills, especially in remote or cross-functional project environments.
