Material Science Specialist (Masters/PhDs)

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 specialists — Masters and PhD level — to work with leading AI research teams, helping build models that genuinely understand complex scientific concepts.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role designed for working researchers and subject-matter experts. No AI background needed — just rigorous scientific knowledge and a sharp eye for accuracy.

Organization: Alignerr
Type: Hourly Contract
Location: Remote
Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

Develop, solve, and review advanced materials science problems with real-world scientific relevance. Apply your expertise in semiconductor materials, molecular modeling, or related domains to design and evaluate complex problem statements. Assess the quality, rigor, and accuracy of AI-generated scientific content and reasoning. Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and domain experts to strengthen model performance. Ensure scientific clarity, depth, and accuracy across all deliverables. Work independently on task-based assignments at your own pace.

Master's or PhD in Materials Science, or a closely related field
Deep expertise in semiconductor materials, molecular modeling, or adjacent areas
Comfortable coding in Python or MATLAB for research or analytical tasks
Naturally detail-oriented with high standards for scientific precision
Strong written communicator — able to explain complex concepts clearly and concisely
Fluent in English

Prior experience with data annotation, data quality evaluation, or AI training workflows. Background in computational materials science or simulation-based research. Experience peer-reviewing scientific work or writing technical documentation. Familiarity with AI tools or machine learning concepts as an end user.

Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs and scientists. Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you. Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based work. Contribute to AI development that advances scientific reasoning at a global scale. Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch.
