Geoscientists

Handshake AI

Up to $100/hr Open worldwide Flexible hours 5–20 h/week Mid level

Remote contract work where practising geoscientists check AI answers on geologic investigation, interpretation and technical reporting. Suits experienced field and consulting geologists who work well independently.

Opportunity Overview
Handshake is seeking experienced Geologists to support AI research through flexible, hourly contract work. This is not a traditional full-time field or consulting role. You’ll use your real-world geoscience experience to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI better understand geology concepts, workflows, and technical language.
This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity that can be done alongside your primary employment.

Who This Is For
This project is designed for professionals who are already working (or have recently worked) in roles such as:

  • Geologist in consulting, industry, government, or research
  • Exploration Geologist (mining, oil and gas, or energy transition fields)
  • Environmental or Engineering Geologist
  • Hydrogeologist or other applied geoscientist with substantial field and interpretive responsibilities

This is not a traditional full-time role. You’ll apply once and, if qualified, be considered for part-time, project-based work as new projects become available.

What You’ll Do
This project involves using your professional experience as a Geologist to design job-related questions and review AI-generated responses for accuracy and relevance to real-world geologic investigation, interpretation, and reporting work.
No prior AI or technical experience is required.

Qualifications
We’re looking for established professionals with:

  • 4+ years of professional experience as a Geologist or in closely related geoscience roles
  • Hands-on experience conducting field investigations, interpreting geologic data, and preparing technical reports or deliverables
  • Strong written communication skills and attention to detail
  • Comfortable working independently and following written guidelines
  • Professional judgment, reliability, and a high standard of discretion and confidentiality, especially with sensitive or proprietary information.

Work Model and Project Details

  • Status: Independent contractor (not a full-time employee role)
  • Location: Fully remote; work from anywhere with a reliable internet connection and access to a desktop or laptop computer
  • Schedule: Flexible and asynchronous, with no minimum hour requirement. Many contributors work approximately 5–20 hours per week when assigned to an active project
  • Duration: The Handshake AI program runs year-round, with projects opening periodically across different areas of expertise. Placement depends on current project needs, with opportunities to be considered for future projects as they become available
