[Hiring] Marine Sedimentologist @Gramian Consulting Group

Role Description

We are seeking an experienced Marine Sedimentologist to contribute to a specialized project focused on evaluating and improving AI capabilities in marine geology and sedimentology.

This role specifically targets professionals with hands-on experience logging and describing sediment cores at sea aboard research vessels. Candidates must have practical marine sedimentology experience, including:

• Offshore core sampling
• Visual core description
• Sediment identification
• Interpretation of sedimentary structures

General geology experience without direct marine core logging experience will not be sufficient.

You will review and validate AI-generated scientific content, assess technical descriptions of marine sediment cores, and provide expert feedback to improve the accuracy and reliability of AI systems. Previous AI experience is not required.

LOCATION: Remote – Global, excluding Africa and the Middle East

PROJECT: Marine geology and sedimentology AI evaluation and training

AI EXPERIENCE: Not required

WORK FOCUS: Scientific validation of marine sedimentology content, offshore core logging, and sediment core descriptions

Qualifications

• Academic background in Marine Geology, Marine Sedimentology, Sedimentology, or a closely related earth science discipline.
• Direct professional experience as a Marine Sedimentologist or equivalent specialist.
• Hands-on experience logging and describing sediment cores at sea aboard research vessels.
• Practical experience with offshore marine core sampling and visual core description.
• Strong knowledge of marine sediment identification, lithology, grain-size classification, and sedimentary structures.
• Ability to characterize and interpret sediment and rock layers in marine environments.
• Familiarity with offshore sampling procedures and established core description protocols.
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to review scientific information critically.
• Excellent written communication skills and the ability to explain complex geological concepts accurately.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform detailed, statement-by-statement validation of marine geology and sedimentology reference answers.
• Evaluate AI-generated content related to marine lithology, sedimentary structures, grain-size classifications, and offshore core sampling protocols.
• Review and validate sediment core descriptions, logging records, and interpretations of marine sediment sequences.
• Assess the identification and characterization of marine sediments, soil layers, and rock formations in ocean-floor environments.
• Apply practical experience from offshore sediment core logging and visual core description aboard research vessels when evaluating technical content.
• Review and annotate marine geology case studies, reference materials, and scientific test sets.
• Identify technical inaccuracies, ambiguities, and edge cases in AI-generated outputs.
• Provide clear, detailed feedback and recommendations to improve scientific accuracy and technical interpretation.
• Document findings and contribute to the continuous improvement of AI training and evaluation materials.
