Conservative Politics Expert

Hourly Contract, Remote, Project‑based (~10–40 hours/week)

Role Responsibilities

• 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—from classical liberalism to modern conservatism—are represented with depth and intellectual integrity.
• Collaborate with researchers to improve ideological balance and ensure models can effectively reason about conservative frameworks such as tradition, markets, governance, community, and individual liberty.
• Contribute to designing frameworks that help models thoughtfully engage with moral, cultural, and institutional dimensions of political reasoning.
• Participate actively in feedback and iterative model development processes.

Ideal Backgrounds

• Political scientists, historians, philosophers, or economists specializing in conservative political movements, theory, or history.
• Writers, journalists, or researchers who examine ideological bias, political culture, or institutions from a conservative perspective.
• Academics or public intellectuals skilled in articulating conservative reasoning and diagnosing progressive framings.
• Policy analysts or cultural commentators committed to evidence‑based, principled analysis.

What We’re Looking For

• Deep understanding of conservative political theory, historical movements, and intellectual traditions.
• Ability to identify left‑leaning or progressive framings and provide constructive, reasoned corrections.
• 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.

Application Process

• Submit a resume, CV, or portfolio of relevant writing or research.
• Complete a short evaluative writing exercise.
