- Evaluate AI-generated scientific reasoning for accuracy, depth, and rigor
- Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and fellow domain experts to improve model performance
- Ensure scientific clarity, methodological soundness, and appropriate complexity across all deliverables
- Work independently on task-based assignments — fully on your own schedule
Who You Are
- Masters or PhD in Atmospheric Science, Climate Science, Environmental Science, or a closely related field
- Strong expertise in climate modeling, atmospheric dynamics, ecology, or sustainability
- Proficient in Python or R for scientific research or data analysis
- Exceptional written communication skills with a sharp eye for scientific accuracy and detail
- Self-motivated and comfortable working independently in an asynchronous environment
- Fluent in English
Nice to Have
- Prior experience with data annotation, data quality assurance, or AI evaluation workflows
- Background in science communication or technical writing
- Familiarity with AI tools or large language model outputs as an end user
- Experience reviewing or peer-reviewing scientific work
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs and AI teams
- Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
- Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, intellectually stimulating work
- Make a direct impact on how AI understands and reasons about atmospheric science and climate
