• Strong skills in critical analysis, writing, and logical reasoning
• Comfort engaging with ideologically diverse or controversial material
• Commitment to intellectual honesty, clarity, and balanced reasoning

Requirements

• Analyze AI model outputs to identify progressive or left-leaning framings and assumptions that obscure or distort conservative reasoning
• Provide detailed, evidence-based feedback to ensure conservative perspectives are represented with depth and intellectual integrity
• Collaborate with researchers to improve ideological balance
• Contribute to designing frameworks that help models engage thoughtfully with moral, cultural, and institutional dimensions of political reasoning

Benefits

• This is a remote role
• 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
