Earth Science & Geology Expert

About the role

<p>Geologists and earth scientists to build the geoscience and climate scenarios frontier AI labs use to test model judgment.</p>

<p>AfterQuery builds the expert evaluation data that frontier AI labs use to measure and improve their models. We're hiring geologists and earth scientists as contractors to author and grade the geoscience and climate scenarios those evaluations run on.</p>

<p><strong>What you'll actually do</strong></p>

<ul>

<li>Author realistic geoscience scenarios from field observation through interpretation, the kind a working geologist actually reasons through.</li>

<li>Write reference answers with the geological reasoning behind each interpretation, processes and timescales weighed.</li>

<li>Grade model output on geoscience and climate questions for physical accuracy and appropriate uncertainty.</li>

<li>Flag explanations that read fluent but get the earth science wrong, the misses only a trained geoscientist would catch.</li>

Why apply

• Work stays in your specialty, judged on scientific judgment rather than output volume
• Set your own hours and scale up or down week to week
• Weekly pay via Stripe at a rate set from your experience
• Your judgment shapes how the next generation of AI handles earth and climate science

Responsibilities

• Author realistic geoscience scenarios from field observation through interpretation
