Role Overview 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.

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

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

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

Master's degree considered for candidates with exceptional depth in a specific subdomain

Strong command of historiographical methods, political theory, and comparative analysis

Research publications or policy experience is a strong plus
