About the Role
What if your deep expertise in atmospheric science could directly shape how AI understands our planet's most complex systems — from climate dynamics to ecosystem resilience? We're looking for Atmospheric Science experts to develop and evaluate advanced scientific problems that train the next generation of AI models to reason at a graduate level and beyond.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for researchers and scientists who want to apply their expertise in a high-impact, intellectually engaging way — on their own schedule.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Design, solve, and critically review advanced atmospheric science problems with real-world scientific relevance
- Apply your expertise in climate modeling, meteorology, ecology, or sustainability to build complex, nuanced problem sets
- Evaluate AI-generated scientific reasoning for accuracy, depth, and methodological rigor
- Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and fellow domain experts to improve model performance
- Ensure all deliverables meet high standards of scientific clarity, precision, and depth
Who You Are
- Holds a Master's or PhD in Atmospheric Science, Climate Science, Environmental Science, or a closely related field
- Experienced with Python or R for scientific research or data analysis
- Deep subject matter expertise in one or more of: climate modeling, atmospheric dynamics, ecology, or sustainability science
- Exceptionally clear written communicator — you can explain complex ideas with precision and accessibility
- Self-directed and dependable when working independently in an asynchronous environment
- Fluent in English and based in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, or New Zealand
Nice to Have
- Prior experience with data annotation, data quality evaluation, or AI training workflows
- Background in academic research, peer review, or scientific publishing
- Familiarity with AI tools or machine learning concepts as an end user or researcher
- Experience communicating technical findings to non-specialist audiences
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs and AI scientists
- Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
- Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, intellectually stimulating work
- Directly contribute to how AI models understand and reason about climate, atmosphere, and the natural world
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
