Material Science Expert (Masters/PhDs)

Material Science Expert (AI Training) About The Role What if your deep expertise in materials science could directly shape how AI reasons about semiconductors, molecular structures, and the physical world? We're looking for Materials Science experts — Masters and PhD holders — to help build and train cutting-edge AI models that need to think and solve problems the way top scientists do. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No prior AI experience needed — just a strong command of your field, a rigorous scientific mind, and the ability to communicate complex ideas with clarity. Organization: AlignerrType: Hourly ContractLocation: RemoteCommitment: 10–40 hours/week What You'll Do Develop, solve, and review advanced materials science problems with real-world scientific relevanceApply your expertise in semiconductor materials, molecular modeling, or related areas to design complex, challenging problem statementsEvaluate AI-generated scientific reasoning and outputs for accuracy, depth, and rigorCollaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and other domain experts to push the boundaries of AI scientific reasoningEnsure scientific clarity, precision, and depth across all deliverablesWork independently on task-based assignments — fully on your own schedule Who You Are Master's or PhD in Materials Science or a closely related fieldStrong expertise in semiconductor materials, molecular modeling, or adjacent research areasComfortable coding in Python or MATLAB for research or technical problem-solvingExceptionally clear written communicator with a sharp eye for detailFluent in English and currently based in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, or New ZealandSelf-motivated and rigorous when working independently Nice to Have Prior experience with data annotation, data labeling, or AI evaluation workflowsBackground in computational materials science, surface science, or nanomaterialsExperience reviewing or writing technical scientific content at a high levelFamiliarity with AI tools or large language model interfaces as an end user Why Join Us Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside the world's leading AI research labsFully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits youFreelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, intellectually stimulating workMake a direct, tangible impact on how AI understands and applies scientific knowledgePotential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
