• Role Overview

Mercor is partnering with leading AI labs on Project Atlas — an initiative to build realistic enterprise environments that frontier AI agents are trained and evaluated in. We're seeking experienced research-operations and research-administration professionals from top R1 universities, major academic medical centers, NIH / federal research agencies, and large nonprofit research organizations to recreate the digital workspaces they run every day and design the tasks that genuinely challenge state-of-the-art AI. You'll bring your expertise in pre- / post-award grants management, research compliance, sponsored-programs administration, or core-facility operations to build a high-fidelity environment that mirrors the tools, files, and cross-functional workflows of a serious research enterprise — and then author tasks grounded in the programs you actually run today. Key Responsibilities - Build a realistic digital workspace centered on the Drive folders you use day-to-day — the grant proposals, budgets and budget justifications, IRB / IACUC protocols, post-award financial reports, effort certifications, compliance training records, and email threads that reflect how you actually organize your work — with some representation of the platforms that support it (e.g., SharePoint / Box, DocuSign, ADP Workforce Now) - Design multi-step tasks grounded in your real workflows that require navigating multiple apps, files, and stakeholders in a way that meaningfully challenges frontier AI agents - Collaborate with other research-operations and administration experts in your field to design the environment, shape task scope, and review each other's scenarios for realism and rigor - Work asynchronously with research teams to refine task designs and evaluation criteria for research-administration agent benchmarks - Contribute to frontier AI research and benchmarking — the work you produce directly informs how leading labs train and evaluate the next generation of AI systems Ideal Qualifications - 3+ years of full-time experience at a top R1 university, academic medical center, federal research agency, or large research nonprofit - Background in one or more areas such as : - Pre-award grants management (NIH, NSF, DOE, DoD, foundation grants) - Post-award financial / compliance management (Uniform Guidance, 2 CFR 200, FFR / RPPR) - Sponsored-programs administration or contract negotiation - Research compliance (IRB, IACUC, IBC, COI, export control) - Core-facility / shared-resource operations - Certifications a plus : CRA, CPRA, CFRA - Day-to-day use of SharePoint / Box, DocuSign, Mendeley / EndNote, and ADP Workforce Now / UKG Pro - Strong analytical thinking and writing — able to translate research-admin workflows into structured task specs Compensation Note This project is expected to begin on an effective hourly rate, but will transition to a model where experts are compensated based on throughput of quality work rather than a flat accruing hourly rate.
