Job description

Soil and Water Conservation Scientist (AI Training)

About the Role

AI is being trained to understand some of the most complex and consequential topics in environmental science — and it needs real experts to get it right. We're looking for soil and water conservation scientists to review, evaluate, and improve AI-generated content related to sustainable land and water management.

Your expertise will directly influence how AI systems reason about erosion control, watershed health, soil science, and conservation planning — helping ensure these tools are scientifically sound and practically useful.

  • Organization: Alignerr (Powered by Labelbox)
  • Type: Hourly / Task-based Contract
  • Location: Fully Remote
  • Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

  • Review AI-generated soil and water conservation scenarios for scientific accuracy and real-world applicability
  • Evaluate content related to erosion control, watershed management, soil health, and conservation planning
  • Identify flawed assumptions, impractical recommendations, or gaps in scientific reasoning
  • Provide clear, structured feedback to improve the rigor and clarity of AI outputs
  • Work independently and asynchronously — on your schedule, at your pace

Who You Are

  • 3+ years of experience in soil science, hydrology, conservation planning, or a closely related field
  • Strong foundational knowledge of soil processes, water systems, and land management techniques
  • Able to critically assess applied environmental science reasoning and identify where AI gets it wrong
  • Comfortable reviewing and annotating technical written content
  • Self-motivated and reliable in a remote, task-based work environment

Nice to Have

  • Graduate degree in Soil Science, Hydrology, Environmental Science, or a related field
  • Hands-on experience with field assessments or conservation planning tools
  • Familiarity with AI content evaluation or data annotation workflows

Why Join Us

  • Put your scientific expertise to work on cutting-edge AI projects
  • Fully remote and flexible — work from anywhere, on your own schedule
  • Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and collaboration with a global expert community
  • Contribute to meaningful work that helps AI better understand and support environmental conservation
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
