Public Policy Economist

Policy and economics assessment

Evaluate generated economic analysis to improve how AI reasons about public decisions. Work covers regulation, welfare, fiscal programs, market design, and other applied economics topics.

• Assess policy analysis for accuracy, rigor, and relevance to practical decisions.
• Examine economic reasoning and identify unsupported conclusions, logical gaps, or misleading presentation.
• Check scenarios, assumptions, and recommendations against established theory and professional practice.
• Write detailed feedback that makes explanations clearer and more useful.
• Complete independent evaluations asynchronously at a pace suited to your schedule.

Required background

At least three years working or teaching in public policy, applied economics, or a related area is required. You need a strong grasp of policy analysis frameworks and the evaluation of economic tradeoffs.

Critical assessment of written arguments, clear communication, and confidence giving detailed feedback are essential. The role calls for reliable self-directed work in a remote setting.

Helpful experience

Graduate qualifications focused on economics, public policy, or a similar subject are useful. Government agency, think tank, or policy research experience is relevant, as is familiarity with AI, content review, or data annotation processes.

Terms

The engagement is a fully remote hourly or task-based contract for 10 to 40 hours each week. Scheduling is flexible, with varied assignments and international collaboration; ongoing work or an extension may be available.
