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 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.

- For verification tasks: flag issues with clarity, completeness, precision, or solvability and justify any edits made
