About the Role

Your expertise in ecosystems, land management, and conservation science is exactly what's needed to help shape the next generation of AI. We're looking for experienced natural resource conservation scientists to evaluate and improve AI systems trained on environmental science content — ensuring that AI reasoning reflects real-world conservation knowledge and best practices.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role where your scientific background drives meaningful impact on how AI understands and communicates complex environmental topics.

  • Evaluate the scientific accuracy of AI-generated content related to land use, ecosystems, soil health, water systems, and biodiversity
  • Assess whether AI-generated recommendations reflect real-world conservation practices and sound scientific reasoning
  • Identify errors, gaps, or misleading outputs and provide clear, structured feedback
  • Help improve the overall quality of AI reasoning in environmental and natural resource domains
  • Work independently and asynchronously on your own schedule

Who You Are

  • 3+ years of professional experience in natural resource conservation, land management, or environmental science
  • Strong foundational knowledge of ecosystems, conservation principles, and applied land management
  • Able to critically evaluate scientific reasoning and applied recommendations with precision
  • Comfortable reviewing structured written content and delivering detailed, actionable feedback
  • Self-motivated and reliable in a remote, task-based work environment

Nice to Have

  • Master's degree or PhD in Natural Resources, Environmental Science, Ecology, or a related field
  • Hands-on fieldwork or applied conservation project experience
  • Familiarity with AI systems, content evaluation, or data annotation workflows

Why Join Us

  • Work on cutting-edge AI projects with top research labs shaping the future of environmental AI
  • Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule from anywhere
  • Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and collaboration with a global community of experts
  • Contribute to meaningful work that helps AI better understand and support conservation science
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
