This role is for one of our clients

Compensation: $44 - $56 per hour

We are seeking experts in history and political science to author and review high-quality academic assessment content for an AI research initiative. You will write and verify rigorous multiple-choice questions across core history and political science domains, evaluate solution quality, and help establish gold-standard benchmarks used to advance AI capabilities.

You will be assigned one of two task types:

Question Authoring — Create original, challenging multiple-choice questions in your area of expertise, rate their difficulty, and submit them for review.

Question Verification — Review pre-written questions for accuracy, clarity, and rigor. Edit where needed, rate difficulty, and document any changes made.

Requirements

History & Political Science Domains Covered

National Security, Public Policy, Business History, Environmental History, Latin American History.

Key Responsibilities

Author original history and political science questions that test deep conceptual understanding, not surface-level recall

Ensure questions are unambiguous, self-contained, and precisely defined — all necessary information must be in the problem statement

Rate each question's difficulty: Medium (intro undergraduate), Hard (advanced undergraduate), or Expert (post-graduate and above)

Provide 1 correct answer and 9 plausible but subtly incorrect alternatives that challenge expert-level solvers

Write step-by-step Chain-of-Thought solutions with clear, concise reasoning in markdown format

Supply 1–5 academic references per question from reputable sources (peer-reviewed journals, university repositories)

For verification tasks: flag issues with clarity, completeness, precision, or solvability and justify any edits made

Ideal Qualifications

PhD or doctoral candidate in History, Political Science, International Relations, or a closely related field …
