About the role

Mercor is seeking Political Analysts to work with a leading AI Lab to train and evaluate models that understand global politics and governance. The role focuses on political theory, policy interpretation, and cross-border dynamics with heavy emphasis on analytical writing and reasoned critique. You will collaborate with AI researchers to refine models, assess outputs for accuracy and neutrality, and design scenario-based evaluations.

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.
