- Communicating project updates, new guidelines, workflow changes, and quality expectations to trainers and QAs via platforms like Discord.
- Promptly responding to questions from trainers and QAs, particularly concerning geological concepts and rubric interpretation.
- Supporting the onboarding of new contributors.
- Monitoring contributor activity, encouraging engagement, and flagging availability issues when necessary.
Documentation and Process Improvement

- A minimum of 2-5 years of experience in geology/earth science research, teaching, fieldwork, environmental consulting, geospatial analysis, academic review, science communication, or related areas.
- Experience leading or supporting remote teams of researchers, educators, reviewers, or QAs is strongly preferred.
- Experience with AI training, data annotation, LLM evaluation, scientific QA, or rubric-based review is a significant advantage.
Skills and Knowledge
Required skills and knowledge include:
- Strong command of the English language for clear communication and feedback.
- A solid understanding of core geological concepts including plate tectonics, the rock cycle, mineralogy, stratigraphy, geologic time, structural geology, geomorphology, natural hazards, climate systems, hydrology, and earth system processes.
- The ability to critically evaluate earth science content against detailed rubrics and identify specific types of errors.
- Exceptional attention to detail and organizational skills.
- Comfort working in fast-paced remote environments using tools such as Discord, Google Sheets, Google Docs, and project management systems.
- Familiarity with tools or methods such as GIS, remote sensing, geologic mapping, field methods, core/log interpretation, geochemical data, climate datasets, Python/R, or scientific visualization is preferred.
