Atmospheric Science Expert (Masters/PhDs)

Atmospheric Science Expert (AI Training)
About The Role
What if your deep knowledge of atmospheric science could directly shape how AI reasons about climate, weather systems, and environmental change? We're looking for Atmospheric Science experts to develop and evaluate advanced scientific problems that train the next generation of AI models — making them more accurate, rigorous, and genuinely useful for the scientific community and beyond.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role designed for researchers and academics who want to apply their expertise in a high-impact, forward-thinking environment. No prior AI experience needed — your scientific depth is what matters.
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, rigorous problem statements
Evaluate AI-generated scientific reasoning for accuracy, depth, and methodological soundness
Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and fellow domain experts to strengthen AI model outputs
Ensure scientific rigor, clarity, and precision across all deliverables
Work independently on task-based assignments — fully on your own schedule
Who You Are
Master's or PhD in Atmospheric Science, Climate Science, Environmental Science, or a closely related field
Experienced with Python or R for research, data analysis, or modeling
Deep expertise in at least one of: climate modeling, atmospheric dynamics, ecology, or sustainability science
