Material Science Expert (Masters/PhDs)

Material Science Expert (AI Training) About The Role What if your deep knowledge of semiconductor materials or molecular modeling could directly shape how AI reasons about the physical world? We're looking for Materials Science experts — Masters and PhD holders — to tackle advanced scientific problems that train the next generation of AI models to think like domain specialists. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for researchers and scientists who want to apply their expertise beyond the lab. No prior AI experience needed — just rigorous scientific knowledge and a sharp eye for quality. Organization: AlignerrType: Hourly ContractLocation: RemoteCommitment: 10–40 hours/week What You'll Do Develop, solve, and review advanced material science problems with real-world scientific relevanceDesign complex, nuanced problem statements drawing on expertise in semiconductor materials, molecular modeling, or related areasEvaluate AI-generated scientific reasoning for accuracy, rigor, and depthCollaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and fellow domain experts to push the frontier of AI scientific understandingEnsure all deliverables meet high standards of scientific clarity and correctnessWork 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 problem-solving tasksNaturally rigorous — you care about getting the science right and communicating it clearlyExceptional written English communication skills with sharp attention to detailCurrently based in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, or New Zealand Nice to Have Prior experience with data annotation, data quality assessment, or evaluation systemsBackground in AI or machine learning researchExperience writing technical content, research papers, or scientific documentationFamiliarity with computational materials science tools or simulation software Why Join Us Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading AI research labsFully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits youFreelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based scientific workMake a direct, tangible impact on how AI understands materials science at a fundamental levelPotential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
