Multilingual Politics Expert

1. Role Overview

Mercor is collaborating with a leading AI lab on a large-scale AI training initiative focused on improving political analysis, civic reasoning, and policy interpretation in advanced language models. We’re seeking experienced Politics experts to contribute by creating and evaluating politics-related prompts and responses.

This is a multilingual opportunity. We are specifically seeking experts who are fluent and deeply engaged in one or more of the following languages:

Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Spanish, Russian, German, Arabic, Thai, Tamil, or Hindi.

Importantly, we are not looking for translation ability alone. Candidates must have sustained engagement with political discourse within their linguistic and cultural context — including familiarity with local political systems, party structures, electoral processes, public policy debates, political history, and media landscapes.

This role is ideal for serious political enthusiasts, policy followers, civic researchers, writers, or dedicated hobbyists who actively participate in political discussions and analysis in their language ecosystem.

2. Key Responsibilities

• Author realistic politics-related prompts spanning political systems, comparative politics, public policy, elections, governance structures, and political theory

• Review and revise AI-generated responses for factual accuracy, contextual nuance, neutrality, and clarity

• Write high-quality human-authored “gold” responses for complex political or policy-oriented questions

• Create controlled prompt variations that test subtle differences in political context, institutional structure, historical period, or policy framing

• Evaluate outputs across different tones (analytical, explanatory, neutral briefing-style) and instruction constraints

• Identify model failure cases involving factual inaccuracies, oversimplification, partisan framing, or culturally inconsistent interpretations

3. Ideal Qualifications

• 2+ years of sustained, serious engagement with politics as a hobby or independent study pursuit (e.g., policy analysis, political writing, civic engagement, participation in political forums or research communities)

• Active participation in political discourse within at least one of the following languages: Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Spanish, Russian, German, Arabic, Thai, Tamil, or Hindi

• Strong familiarity with political institutions, policy debates, and media ecosystems within your language and cultural context

• Ability to articulate political analysis clearly, objectively, and with contextual depth in the target language

• Strong written communication skills and thoughtful, balanced editorial judgment

4. More About the Opportunity

• Expected commitment: 10–40 hours per week

5. Application Process

• Submit your resume or relevant writing samples to get started

• Complete a short form outlining your political background, areas of focus, and language proficiency

• We aim to follow up within a few days with next steps
