Natural Resource Conservation Scientist

$30-55/hrRemoteFreelanceSTEM

About the Role

AI is being trained to reason about ecosystems, land management, and conservation — and it needs real experts to get it right. We're looking for experienced natural resource conservation scientists to evaluate and improve AI systems working in environmental science and conservation decision-making.

Your field knowledge will directly shape how AI understands complex environmental challenges, making this an opportunity to extend your conservation impact far beyond traditional roles.

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

What You'll Do

  • Review conservation science scenarios and questions used to train AI systems
  • Evaluate the scientific accuracy of AI-generated content covering land use, ecosystems, soil, water, and biodiversity
  • Assess whether AI recommendations reflect real-world conservation practices and current scientific understanding
  • Identify gaps, errors, or misleading reasoning in AI outputs
  • Provide clear, structured feedback that improves AI scientific reasoning
  • 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 working knowledge of ecosystems, conservation principles, and applied land management
  • Able to critically evaluate scientific reasoning and identify when recommendations miss the mark
  • Comfortable reviewing structured written content and translating expert judgment into actionable feedback
  • Self-motivated and reliable — you can manage your own workload and meet deadlines independently

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 workflows, or technical writing

Why Join Us

  • Work on cutting-edge AI projects shaping how the world's most advanced models understand environmental science
  • Fully remote and flexible — complete tasks on your own schedule from anywhere
  • Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and collaboration with a global community of subject matter experts
  • Make a meaningful impact by ensuring AI gets conservation science right
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as projects grow
