The research teams behind the best-known AI models come to Mercor for humanities judgment they can't generate on their own. Your standards and expertise become the rubric that frontier AI is graded against.

This is a standing listing for humanities scholars who want AI training and evaluation work, not a specific job opening. It stays open whether or not a matching project is running this week.

New projects start on short notice, so instead of posting and pulling a listing each time, we keep one open per field and draw from it when one begins.

What the work looks like

We match scholars in the network to projects like:

• Writing a question from your own field, with the sources, the context, and the interpretive problem, plus the reference answer a model's attempt gets graded against
• Grading model-written interpretation and argument: whether the sources say what the model claims, whether the reasoning holds, whether the historical or cultural context is right
• Flagging where a model produces fluent, confident prose that misreads the text, flattens a live scholarly debate, or invents a citation

Listings in this field on Mercor have posted at $45 to $60 an hour, set per project by scope and depth.

What we're looking for

• A graduate degree in a humanities field, or equivalent scholarly or professional experience
• Clear written communication, since most of the work involves explaining your reasoning
• Comfort with ambiguous tasks, and willingness to flag unclear instructions

What this covers

This pool spans the humanities, including:

• History; classics
• Philosophy; ethics and logic
• Literature
• Religious studies; cultural studies

Where you trained matters less than whether you can tell a strong reading from a merely plausible one, and say precisely where the weaker one fails.

How it works

Apply here with your resume and confirm where you work from, then take a short AI interview, about 20 minutes total.

We verify your background and add you to the humanities pool.

When a project needs your field, we invite matching people from the pool to that specific listing. It names the rate, the hours, and the client, and any hiring decision is made there.

What to expect

This listing does not accept or reject candidates, so you will not get a decision on it. We reach out when a project matches your background. Depending on what our clients are running, that can be within a week or several months.

Finishing the domain expert interview and joining every network you qualify for both improve your odds of being matched. You only need to sign up once to be eligible across all of them.
