Role Title: Marine Geology SME - Core Logging & Sedimentology
Role Type: Contractor
Location: Remote
The company is engaging Marine Geology SME - Core Logging & Sedimentology experts to contribute to a client's project focused on the marine sciences. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters.
Scope of Work
- Perform rigorous, statement-by-statement validation of marine geology and sedimentology reference answers, ensuring technical accuracy and clarity.
- Assess AI-generated outputs related to marine lithology, sedimentary structures, grain-size classifications, and offshore core sampling protocols.
- Provide clear, detailed feedback and suggested improvements on core logging and sediment identification content.
- Apply advanced knowledge of marine sedimentology to evaluate sediment and ocean floor descriptions, including soil and rock layer identification.
- Utilize experience with offshore core logging and visual core description to review and annotate case studies and test sets.
- Document insights, ambiguities, and edge cases encountered during content review, supporting continuous improvement.
Preferred Qualifications
- Advanced qualification in Marine Geology, Marine Sedimentology, or a closely related discipline.
- Extensive hands-on experience with core logging, sediment sampling, and core description (visual and analytical) in offshore or marine settings.
- Proven expertise in identifying marine sediments, sedimentary structures, and characterizing soil and rock layers in oceanic environments.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with an emphasis on precise technical articulation and critical review.
- Background in conducting or supervising offshore sedimentological surveys or participating in marine core sampling projects.
- Familiarity with standard offshore sampling practices and the nuances of visual core description protocols.
- Experience reviewing or developing educational, reference, or training materials in the earth sciences is a plus.
