About the Role
AI is increasingly being used to analyze policy, model economic tradeoffs, and generate recommendations that influence real decisions. But it needs expert guidance to get it right.
We're looking for experienced public policy economists to help evaluate and improve AI-generated economics content. Your expertise will directly shape how AI systems reason about regulation, welfare programs, fiscal policy, and applied economics — making a meaningful impact on how this technology develops.
