What You'll Do
- Review and validate AI-generated econometric questions, models, and explanations for accuracy and clarity
- Assess statistical assumptions, methodological soundness, and interpretation of results
- Identify errors, edge cases, and reasoning gaps using your real-world teaching experience
- Provide structured, actionable feedback to improve AI model reasoning and communication
- Evaluate content spanning regression analysis, causal inference, time series, and more
- Work independently and asynchronously on your own schedule
Who You Are
- 3+ years of experience teaching econometrics or quantitative economics
- Strong command of regression analysis, causal inference, and applied statistical methods
- Able to clearly evaluate and articulate quantitative reasoning at a high level
- Comfortable reviewing structured, technical content with precision and consistency
- Self-motivated and reliable — you deliver quality work without being micromanaged
Nice to Have
- Master's or PhD in Economics, Statistics, or a related field
- Hands-on experience with statistical tools such as R, Stata, or Python
- Familiarity with AI evaluation workflows or model training processes
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside 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 shapes how AI reasons about economics and data
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
