Field Ecologist & Wildlife/Fisheries Biologist

About this role

Use your hands-on experience in ecology, wildlife biology, fisheries science 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 field ecologists and wildlife and fisheries biologists who work with real population data: the surveys, tagging and telemetry work, and fisheries catch and age data you have collected and analyzed. Requirements Technical: Working knowledge of Python (R is a plus) for analyzing your own survey and telemetry 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 Master's or PhD degree with multiple field seasons; agency scientists and postdocs are a strong fit. Hands-on work with real data, rather than desk-only GIS or policy roles, or theory-only ecology. 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.
