  • Provide structured, expert feedback to improve scientific rigor, clarity, and real-world applicability
  • Work independently and asynchronously on your own schedule

Who You Are

  • 3+ years of hands-on experience in soil science, hydrology, or conservation planning
  • Strong working knowledge of soil processes, water systems, and conservation techniques
  • Able to critically evaluate applied environmental science reasoning and written technical content
  • Detail-oriented, self-motivated, and comfortable working remotely without close supervision

Nice to Have

  • Graduate degree in Soil Science, Hydrology, Environmental Science, or a related field
  • Experience with field assessments, GIS tools, or conservation planning platforms
  • Familiarity with AI systems, content evaluation, or annotation workflows
