Liberal Politics Expert
Mercor is seeking professionals deeply engaged in progressive politics to serve as **Liberal Politics Experts** for a cutting-edge AI research lab. As a Liberal Politics Expert, you’ll help evaluate and refine AI reasoning — ensuring models understand, represent, and reason through liberal ideas accurately, coherently, and in proportion to their real-world intellectual foundations.
Your expertise will help identify and correct areas where AI systems unintentionally skew toward conservative or right-leaning framings, enabling the development of politically balanced, context-aware reasoning models.
## **Job Details:**
### **Ideological & Reasoning Evaluation**
- Analyze AI model outputs to identify where reasoning reflects **conservative framing, assumptions, or value priors** inconsistent with liberal or progressive perspectives.
- Provide detailed, evidence-based feedback to ensure **liberal political frameworks** are represented with nuance, depth, and intellectual integrity.
- Collaborate with researchers to **improve ideological balance** and ensure the model’s reasoning aligns with diverse liberal traditions — from social democracy to progressive thought.
- Contribute to developing internal tools and frameworks that help models reason about **equity, justice, democracy, and rights** with conceptual clarity and precision.
### **Ideal Backgrounds**
We’re seeking intellectually rigorous individuals who bring a sophisticated understanding of liberal and progressive political theory, movements, and history. Ideal candidates might include:
- **Political scientists, sociologists, or historians** specializing in liberal or progressive political systems, ideologies, or movements.
- **Writers, journalists, or researchers** known for analysis of political discourse, ideology, or democratic institutions.
- **Academics or independent thinkers** who can articulate liberal perspectives and diagnose conservative framings with precision.
- **Public intellectuals or analysts** who demonstrate a commitment to truth, fairness, and the democratic process.
### **What We’re Looking For**
- Mastery of **liberal political theory, social movements, and cultural reasoning frameworks**.
- Ability to identify **right-leaning or reactionary framings** and offer constructive corrections grounded in evidence and reasoning.
- Exceptional skills in **critical thinking, argumentation, and clear writing**.
- Comfort engaging with **complex or controversial political content**.
- Intellectual integrity and commitment to clarity over partisanship.
## **Additional Details:**
- **Flexible commitment**: expect ~20–30 hours per week
- **Structured project environment** with clear deliverables and collaborative feedback
- **Pay is negotiable** for exceptional candidates
## **Application Process:**
- Submit a resume, CV, or portfolio of relevant writing or research. Complete a short evaluative writing excercise.
- If selected, you’ll be contacted to schedule a chat with the hiring team
