Ocean, Atmosphere & Earth Observation Scientist

Use your hands-on experience in oceanography, atmospheric science, geoscience or a related field to write research-level problems for AI models. Remote, flexible contract work. AfterQuery works with leading AI labs to build the expert data that tests and trains AI models. We're looking for ocean, atmosphere and earth scientists who work with raw field and instrument data: the cruises, deployments and field campaigns you have processed data from. Requirements Technical: Working knowledge of Python for processing and quality-checking your own instrument or survey data. Work authorization: Must be able to work as an independent contractor without visa sponsorship. Students on F-1 visas (including OPT/CPT) are not eligible. Preferred Background: a PhD or Master's degree plus field campaign experience; postdocs and research staff at oceanographic, meteorological or geological institutes are a strong fit. Hands-on work with real data, rather than work limited to climate-model or reanalysis output. Contract and pay Flexible, independent-contractor work: $300 per approved task, about 6 hours each (roughly $50 per hour), with no cap on how many tasks you take on. All accepted experts undergo standard background and identity verification.
