Identify unrealistic assumptions, flawed methodologies, or misapplied conservation concepts
Provide clear, structured feedback that improves the ecological validity of AI outputs
Work independently and asynchronously — on your schedule, at your pace
Who You Are
3+ years of experience in wildlife biology, ecology, habitat conservation, or a closely related field
Strong working knowledge of biodiversity principles and ecosystem management
Able to critically evaluate applied ecological reasoning presented in written form

Nice to Have
Graduate degree in Ecology, Wildlife Biology, Conservation Science, or a related discipline
Hands-on field research or conservation program experience
Familiarity with AI systems, content evaluation, or scientific annotation workflows
