About AI Training and LLM Evaluation

Large language models learn and improve through carefully designed examples and reviews from people. In this role, your political analysis will help assess whether AI-generated answers are accurate, logically sound, complete, current, relevant, and appropriately nuanced.

Human evaluators are essential to building reliable AI. Their feedback helps identify hallucinations, weak reasoning, outdated information, and difficult edge cases that automated systems may miss.

• Work directly on the human side of AI development
• Evaluate text generated by large language models
• Help shape how AI handles political and policy-related topics

The Role

OpenTrain AI is recruiting a Politics Domain Expert to evaluate and improve large language models through expertise in political science and governance. You will review responses across elections, public policy, international relations, political institutions, comparative politics, and related areas.

This is a specialized independent contractor assignment requiring rigorous political analysis, reliable research practices, objective judgment, and evidence-backed reviews. The contract lasts eight weeks and is remote.

• Role: Politics Domain Expert for LLM Evaluation
• Work arrangement: Remote contractor assignment
• Contract duration: Eight weeks
• Schedule: 40 hours per week, including at least four hours overlapping Pacific Time
• Listing time requirement: 20+ hours per week
• Language: English
• Work type: Text generation and evaluation or rating

What You’ll Do

You will create demanding evaluation material, assess model-generated political content, and document findings clearly enough to support model improvement. Reviews should be consistent, well reasoned, and supported by reliable references.

• Create challenging prompts covering political science, governance, elections, public policy, and international relations.
• Evaluate AI-generated answers for factual accuracy, reasoning quality, completeness, nuance, and relevance.
• Detect hallucinations, logical inconsistencies, outdated information, and difficult edge cases.
• Develop benchmark datasets and adversarial test cases for political and policy-related model evaluation.
• Provide objective, evidence-backed feedback with reliable references.
• Collaborate with AI researchers to improve model performance.
• Maintain consistent annotation quality and clear documentation.

Required Qualifications

This role requires advanced knowledge of political systems, governance, elections, public policy, international relations, political institutions, comparative politics, and current global political developments. You should be able to apply that knowledge across varied topics and assess both factual content and the quality of an answer’s reasoning.

The role description requires a master’s degree or higher in any field and at least three years of relevant experience. Relevant backgrounds include political research, public policy, government, political consulting, academia, journalism, international affairs, think tanks, or a related area.

• Excellent written English, research, and analytical skills
• Strong attention to detail when reviewing political responses
• Ability to identify factual inconsistencies and evaluate reasoning
• Ability to produce objective, evidence-backed reviews with reliable references
• Ability to recognize hallucinations, outdated information, logical inconsistencies, and edge cases

Helpful Background

Experience with large language models, generative AI, prompt engineering, or AI evaluation is helpful. Published research, teaching experience, or industry recognition may also support your application, along with the ability to make independent judgments and explain reviews objectively.

Background in political science, public policy, international relations, government, public administration, law, economics, journalism, or another politics-related discipline is valuable.

• Experience evaluating generative AI or large language models
• Prompt engineering experience
• Published research or teaching experience
• Experience supporting evidence-based political or policy analysis
• Professional experience in government, academia, journalism, think tanks, or international affairs

Why This Work Matters

AI systems increasingly generate information and analysis on complex public issues. Careful political evaluation helps models respond with greater accuracy, context, and nuance rather than repeating unsupported claims or overlooking important distinctions.

AI training is a rapidly growing field with remote work opportunities for specialists. Your contribution can put advanced subject-matter knowledge directly into the development process for modern AI systems.

• Apply specialized political expertise to cutting-edge AI development
• Help improve accuracy and nuance in model responses
• Work remotely with a structured, time-limited assignment
