  • Identify flawed assumptions, oversimplified conclusions, or impractical recommendations in AI outputs
  • Provide clear, structured feedback to improve the scientific rigor and clarity of AI-generated content
  • Work independently and asynchronously on your own schedule

Who You Are

  • 3+ years of hands-on experience in soil science, hydrology, or conservation planning
  • Strong working knowledge of soil processes, water systems, and conservation techniques
  • Ability to critically evaluate applied environmental science reasoning and identify errors
  • Comfortable reviewing and providing feedback on technical written content
  • Self-motivated and reliable with the ability to meet project deadlines independently

Nice to Have

  • Graduate degree in Soil Science, Hydrology, Environmental Science, or a related field
  • Experience with field assessments, conservation planning tools, or regulatory frameworks
  • Familiarity with AI systems, content evaluation workflows, or data annotation
