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.

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.
