Soil and Water Conservation Scientist

About the Role

We're looking for experienced soil and water conservation scientists to help evaluate and improve AI systems trained on sustainable land and water management. Your scientific expertise will directly shape how AI understands and communicates critical conservation topics — from erosion control to watershed management — making a real-world impact on how these technologies serve scientists, planners, and land managers.

• Organization: Alignerr
• Type: Hourly Contract
• Location: Remote
• Commitment: Flexible, asynchronous

What You'll Do

• Review AI-generated soil and water conservation scenarios for scientific accuracy and practical soundness
• Assess content related to erosion control, watershed management, soil health, and conservation planning
• Identify flawed assumptions, outdated methods, or impractical recommendations in AI outputs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 on your own schedule

Who You Are

• 3+ years of experience in soil science, hydrology, conservation planning, or a closely related field
• Strong understanding of soil processes, water systems, and applied conservation techniques
• Able to critically evaluate environmental science reasoning and written technical content
• Detail-oriented, self-motivated, and comfortable working independently
• No prior AI experience required

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 land management programs
• Familiarity with AI systems or content evaluation workflows

Why Join Us

• Work on cutting-edge AI projects with leading research labs
• Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule, from anywhere
• Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and collaboration with a global network of experts
• Contribute to meaningful work that improves how AI handles real environmental science
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
