• Evaluate AI-generated responses for scientific accuracy, depth, and reasoning quality
• Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and fellow domain experts to strengthen AI model performance
• Ensure scientific rigor, clarity, and precision across all deliverables

Who You Are

• Holds a Master's or PhD in Materials Science or a closely related field
• Deep expertise in semiconductor materials, molecular modeling, or an adjacent discipline
• Proficient in Python or MATLAB for research applications or technical problem-solving
• Exceptional written communicator — you can explain complex concepts clearly and precisely
• Detail-oriented and methodical, with a strong commitment to scientific accuracy
• Fluent in English and based in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, or New Zealand

Nice to Have

• Prior experience with data annotation, data quality review, or AI evaluation workflows
• Background in academic research, industry R&D, or technical consulting
• Experience writing or reviewing technical documentation or research papers

Why Join Us

• Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside the world's leading AI research labs
• Fully remote and asynchronous — work on your own schedule, from anywhere
• Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, intellectually stimulating work
• Make a direct, tangible impact on how AI understands and reasons about materials science
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
