• Regional sports traditions and community-based physical practices
• Modern Indian sports ecosystem (cricket, athletics, Olympic sports, leagues, etc.)
• Sports sociology, gender, caste, and politics in the Indian context
• Athlete biographies, narratives, and sports journalism
• Coaching, training methodologies, and grassroots sports development
• Recreational cultures, fitness movements, and everyday play practices in India
• PhD, MPhil, or Master’s degree preferred, or extensive credible experience in the field will also be considered.
• Passion for precision, language, and cultural nuance

Your Role

• Craft context-rich prompts in Marathi based on traditional and modern sports, local games, athlete narratives, and regional recreation to challenge AI models
• Evaluate model outputs for accuracy, cultural relevance, tone, and regional specificity
• Identify blind spots and weaknesses in AI’s understanding of India’s diverse sporting heritage—from kabaddi and mallakhamb to cricket fandom and regional tournaments
• Collaborate with an international team shaping how AI understands Indian languages and the socio-cultural fabric of recreation, games, and physical expression
