Atmospheric Science Expert (Masters/PhDs)
New York
**Atmospheric Science Expert (AI Training)** **About The Role** What if your deep knowledge of atmospheric science could directly shape how AI understands our planet's most complex systems --- from climate modeling to ecological dynamics? We're looking for Atmospheric Science experts to develop advanced, rigorous problems that train the next generation of AI models to reason at a scientific level. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for researchers and domain specialists who want to apply their expertise in a high-impact, innovative way. No prior AI experience needed --- just a strong scientific background and a passion for intellectual rigor. * Organization: Alignerr * Type: Hourly Contract * Location: Remote * Commitment: 10--40 hours/week **What You'll Do** * Design, solve, and review advanced atmospheric science problems with real-world scientific relevance * Apply your expertise in climate modeling, meteorology, ecology, or sustainability to craft complex, nuanced problem statements * Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and fellow domain experts to sharpen AI model reasoning * Evaluate the quality, depth, and scientific accuracy of AI-generated outputs in your field * Ensure scientific rigor, clarity, and precision across all deliverables * Work independently on task-based assignments, fully on your own schedule **Who You Are** * Holder of a Master's or PhD in Atmospheric Science or a closely related field * Experienced with Python or R for research, data analysis, or modeling * Deeply knowledgeable in one or more of: climate modeling, meteorology, atmospheric dynamics, ecology, or sustainability science * Exceptionally clear and precise in written communication --- you can translate complex science into well-structured problems * Detail-oriented, methodical, and committed to producing high-quality scientific work * Fluent in English **Nice to Have** * Experience with data annotation, data quality evaluation, or AI training workflows * Familiarity with large-scale climate datasets or simulation frameworks * Background in academic research, peer review, or scientific publishing * Interest in the intersection of environmental science and artificial intelligence **Why Join Us** * Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs and AI teams * Fully remote and flexible --- work when and where it suits you * Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, intellectually stimulating work * Make a direct impact on how AI understands and reasons about the physical world * Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
