Natural Resource Conservation Scientist (AI Training) About The Role Your field expertise has real power beyond the landscape — it can shape how AI understands and communicates environmental science. We're looking for experienced natural resource conservation scientists to help evaluate and improve AI systems trained on conservation, land management, and environmental decision-making. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role where your scientific knowledge directly influences how the next generation of AI models reasons about the natural world.

• Organization: Alignerr (Powered by Labelbox)
• Type: Hourly / Task-Based Contract
• Location: Remote
• Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

• Review conservation science questions, scenarios, and case studies used in AI training datasets
• Evaluate the scientific accuracy of AI-generated content covering ecosystems, land use, soil health, water systems, and biodiversity
• Assess whether AI recommendations reflect real-world conservation practices and sound scientific reasoning
• Provide clear, structured feedback to improve the quality and reliability of AI outputs
• Work independently and asynchronously on your own schedule

Who You Are

• 3+ years of professional experience in natural resource conservation, land management, or environmental science
• Strong working knowledge of ecosystems, conservation principles, and applied land management
