Key Responsibilities

• Conduct spot-checks of geology/earth science items, identify quality issues, provide ongoing feedback, and escalate recurring or critical concerns.
• Evaluate AI-generated geology explanations, earth science summaries, geologic process descriptions, map/data interpretations, climate or hazard explanations, and step-by-step reasoning for accuracy and clarity.
• Communicate updates to trainers and QAs regarding new item guidelines, project changes, workflow updates, quality expectations, and specific review standards.
• Respond promptly to trainer/QA questions, particularly concerning geologic timescales, rock/mineral identification, earth systems, natural hazards, spatial reasoning, environmental interpretation, and rubric interpretation.

• Schedule and conduct onboarding/training calls with trainers and QAs to explain project expectations, workflows, rubrics, quality standards, and specific review requirements.
• Ensure consistent application of geology/earth science review guidelines across all trainers and QAs and ensure understanding of updates as projects evolve.
• Identify and flag misleading, overconfident, geologically impossible, environmentally unsupported, or poorly contextualized earth science claims.
• Propose workflow improvements and help build scalable QA processes for earth science/geology AI training projects.
