  • Identify flawed assumptions, outdated methods, or impractical recommendations in AI outputs
  • Provide clear, structured feedback to improve scientific rigor, clarity, and real-world applicability
  • Work independently and asynchronously to complete task-based assignments on your own schedule

Who You Are

  • 3+ years of professional experience in soil science, hydrology, conservation planning, or a closely related field
  • Strong working knowledge of soil processes, water systems, and applied conservation techniques
  • Able to critically evaluate environmental science reasoning and identify where AI gets it wrong
  • Comfortable reviewing and annotating technical written content with precision and consistency
  • Self-motivated and reliable in a remote, independent work environment

Nice to Have

  • Graduate degree in Soil Science, Hydrology, Environmental Science, or a related discipline
  • Hands-on experience with field assessments, conservation planning tools, or regulatory frameworks
