Overview

Turing needs nutrition professionals to review food, dietary-pattern, and nutrient data that feeds an AI training and evaluation effort. Day to day you will annotate meal composition, portion sizes, and nutrient values pulled from text, images, or food logs. The work leans on food-composition databases and dietary-assessment methods, because every entry has to hold up against a trusted reference. You will also flag mislabeled or culturally ambiguous foods and check AI-generated nutrition content for scientific accuracy and safety.

What You'll Do6

  • Annotate food items, portion sizes, meal makeup, and nutrient values taken from text, photos, or food logs.
  • Label dietary patterns, covering macronutrient balance, meal timing, restrictions, and personal preferences.
  • Check nutrition figures against trusted food-composition references before they enter the dataset.
  • Flag entries that look inconsistent, mislabeled, or ambiguous across different cuisines.
  • Review AI-written nutrition content for scientific accuracy, safety, and relevance to the question asked.
  • Refine annotation guidance so diverse cuisines stay consistent from one batch to the next.

Requirements5

  • Three or more years of experience in nutrition, dietetics, food science, community nutrition, or a related field.
  • Working knowledge of food-composition databases and dietary-assessment methods.
  • Sound judgment on portion estimation, food categorization, and structured nutrition data.
  • Comfort with spreadsheets, annotation tools, or structured-data formats.
  • Availability for 8 weeks at 8 hours per day, with at least 4 hours overlapping Pacific Time.

Preferred Qualifications4

  • RD, RDN, or an equivalent nutrition credential.
  • Advanced education in nutrition science, public-health nutrition, or clinical dietetics.
  • Experience with multicultural food data.
  • Prior AI or machine learning data labeling work.

Who Should Apply

Registered dietitians, food scientists, and community nutrition specialists with at least three years of hands-on work will fit this contract well. The role suits someone who can look at a food log or photo, pin down portions and nutrients with confidence, then defend that call against a reference database.

Salary Insight

The posted rate is $35 USD per hour on a contract engagement. Nutrition annotation projects that ask for credentialed reviewers tend to pay above general data-labeling work, and this figure sits in line with that, so the client is paying for subject depth rather than entry-level tagging.
