About the role

Mercor is recruiting Economics Research Experts for a research project with a leading foundational model AI lab. You are a great fit if you have at least 1 year of economics research experience at top institutions and hold a Master or PhD in Economics. You must be able to commit at least 10 hours per week for this role and participate in a minimum four-week engagement. Successful contributions increase the odds that you are selected on future projects with Mercor.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
