Soil and Water Conservation Scientist

**Soil and Water Conservation Scientist (AI Training)** **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 content. Your scientific expertise will directly shape how AI understands, reasons about, and communicates complex conservation topics --- making a real impact on the quality and reliability of next-generation AI tools used in environmental science.

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

**What You'll Do**

* Review and evaluate 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, oversimplified reasoning, or impractical recommendations in AI outputs
* Provide clear, structured feedback to improve scientific rigor, depth, and clarity
* Work independently and asynchronously on task-based assignments that fit your schedule

**Who You Are**

* 3+ years of hands-on experience in soil science, hydrology, conservation planning, or a closely related field
* Strong foundational knowledge of soil processes, water systems, and applied conservation techniques
* Able to critically evaluate environmental science reasoning and identify where AI goes wrong
* Comfortable reviewing and responding to technical written content with precision
* Self-motivated and reliable working independently in a remote setting

**Nice to Have**

* Graduate degree in Soil Science, Hydrology, Environmental Science, or a related discipline
* Experience with field assessments, GIS tools, or conservation planning software
* Familiarity with AI content evaluation or data annotation workflows
