Material Science Specialist (AI Training)
About The Role
What if your deep expertise in materials science could directly shape how AI reasons through some of the most complex problems in modern science? We're looking for Materials Science specialists—Masters and PhD holders—to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models working on semiconductor materials, molecular modeling, and advanced materials challenges.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for researchers and domain experts who want to put their hard-earned knowledge to work on something genuinely new. No prior AI experience needed—your scientific depth is what matters.
Organization: Alignerr Type: Hourly Contract Location: Remote Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You’ll Do
- Develop, solve, and critically review advanced materials science problems with real-world scientific relevance
- Apply your expertise in semiconductor materials, molecular modeling, or related disciplines to craft complex, high-quality problem statements
- Evaluate AI-generated reasoning and outputs for scientific accuracy, rigor, and depth
- Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and fellow domain experts to push the boundaries of what AI can understand in your field
- Ensure clarity, precision, and scientific integrity across all deliverables
