Job description
- Role Overview - Mercor is seeking senior higher education professionals to build evaluation tasks for AI systems operating in large university and higher education institution contexts. - The workflows are calibrated to the academic complexity, stakeholder diversity, and institutional stakes of large research universities and higher education systems. - Contributors design higher education scenarios, draft reference outputs, and write rubrics that capture how senior faculty and university administrators think. Key Responsibilities - Construct higher education scenarios spanning curriculum and program design, multi-stakeholder faculty senate or accreditation review, and complex institutional budget or enrollment planning cycles. - Build education tasks across academic program development, student affairs and retention, research administration and grant compliance, faculty governance, and institutional advancement / fundraising. - Develop higher-ed operations scenarios involving tools such as Banner / Workday Student, Canvas / Blackboard, CRM platforms for admissions and advancement, and research administration systems (Cayuse, InfoEd). - Apply higher education frameworks (accreditation standards, shared governance models, learning outcomes assessment, enrollment management strategy) and produce reference academic plans, accreditation documentation, and administrator / board-level communications. - Author rubrics that distinguish authentic higher education judgment from generic academic or policy-manual recall. Ideal Qualifications - 5+ years working as faculty, an academic administrator, or in a senior operational role at a college, university, or higher education system. - Direct ownership of academic programs, enrollment / retention initiatives, research administration, or institutional strategic priorities. - Fluency in higher education tooling and frameworks, plus understanding of how university budgets, accreditation compliance, and shared governance actually work. - Prior rubric, curriculum-design, or faculty-training content authorship is a plus.
