About the Role
What if your expertise in climate modeling, ecology, or sustainability could directly shape how AI understands and reasons about the most pressing environmental challenges facing our planet? We're looking for Environmental Science experts — Masters and PhD holders — to develop advanced, real-world problems that train cutting-edge AI models to think more rigorously about the natural world.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for working scientists and researchers. No AI background required — just deep domain expertise and a commitment to scientific rigor.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Develop, solve, and review advanced environmental science problems with real-world relevance and complexity
- Apply your expertise in climate modeling, ecology, sustainability, or related disciplines to design challenging, high-quality problem sets
- Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and fellow domain experts to sharpen AI model reasoning
- Ensure scientific rigor, accuracy, and depth across every deliverable you produce
- Work independently on task-based assignments — fully on your own schedule
Who You Are
- Holds a Master's or PhD in Environmental Science or a closely related field
- Strong expertise in at least one of: climate modeling, ecology, sustainability, environmental systems, or similar areas
- Comfortable coding in Python or R for research or analytical work
- Exceptional written communicator with a sharp eye for scientific accuracy and detail
- Self-motivated and reliable when working independently
- Fluent in English
Nice to Have
- Prior experience with data annotation, data quality evaluation, or AI training workflows
- Familiarity with interdisciplinary environmental research spanning multiple subfields
- Background in peer review, academic publishing, or technical writing
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading AI research labs
- Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
- Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, intellectually stimulating work
- Make a direct, tangible impact on how AI understands environmental science and climate challenges
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
