Position: Economics & Finance Assessment Specialist
Type: Contract

  • Provide 1 correct answer and 9 plausible but subtly incorrect alternatives that challenge expert-level solvers.
  • Write step-by-step Chain-of-Thought solutions with clear, concise intermediate steps in markdown format.
  • Supply 1–5 academic references per question from reputable sources like peer-reviewed journals and university repositories.
  • For verification tasks: flag issues with clarity, completeness, precision, or solvability and justify any edits made.

Qualifications

Must-Have

  • PhD or doctoral candidate in Economics, Finance, or a closely related field.
  • Master's degree considered for candidates with exceptional depth in a specific subdomain.
  • Strong command of graduate-level economic theory, quantitative methods, and financial modeling.
  • Excellent written English and ability to express complex ideas clearly and concisely.

Preferred

  • Experience with academic research, CFA/CPA certification, or financial industry expertise is a strong plus.
