About the job
Mercor connects elite creative and technical talent with leading AI research labs. Headquartered in San Francisco, our investors include Benchmark , General Catalyst , Peter Thiel , Adam D'Angelo , Larry Summers , and Jack Dorsey .
Position: Experimental Scientist / Engineer – Superconductors
Type: Contract
Compensation: $84/hour
Location: Remote
Role Responsibilities
- Contribute deep domain expertise across superconducting material synthesis, characterisation, experimental superconductivity, fabrication, and device physics to build high-quality training and evaluation data.
- Review and evaluate AI-generated scientific reasoning related to superconducting materials and phenomena , identifying experimental or theoretical errors and improving technical accuracy.
- Design and solve challenging, expert-level problems involving critical temperature (Tc), critical current density (Jc), critical magnetic fields, magnetic susceptibility, electrical transport, flux pinning, vortex behaviour, and structure–property relationships .
- Analyse and reason about experimental results from techniques such as XRD, SEM/TEM, SQUID/VSM magnetometry, resistivity and magnetotransport measurements, spectroscopy, and cryogenic measurements .
- Rate and rank model outputs against defined scientific criteria, providing clear written reasoning grounded in experimental superconductivity.
- Structure technical knowledge — including synthesis procedures, processing parameters, phase and structural data, transport measurements, magnetic measurements, and device data — into well-organised, model-ready data.
Qualifications
Must-Have
- Hands-on experimental experience with one or more classes of superconducting materials , including cuprate/high-temperature superconductors, iron-based superconductors, conventional superconductors, MgB₂, REBCO/YBCO systems, or emerging superconducting materials .
- Experience with superconducting material synthesis or processing , such as solid-state synthesis, single-crystal growth, powder processing, thin-film deposition, or related techniques.
- Strong experience characterising superconducting properties through electrical resistivity/transport, magnetotransport, magnetic susceptibility, SQUID/VSM magnetometry, critical current measurements, critical field measurements, or cryogenic experiments .
- Strong understanding of superconducting phenomena, including Tc, Jc, critical magnetic fields, Meissner effect, flux pinning, vortex dynamics, and the relationship between material structure and superconducting performance .
- An advanced degree ( PhD/MS ) or equivalent hands-on research experience in materials science, condensed matter physics, applied physics, chemistry, electrical engineering, or a closely related field.
- Clear written English and the ability to explain complex experimental results and technical reasoning concisely.
Preferred
- Experience with superconducting thin films, heterostructures, or device fabrication using techniques such as PLD, MBE/epitaxy, sputtering, lithography, etching, or clean-room micro/nanofabrication.
- Experience with applied superconductors or superconducting devices , such as superconducting wires and tapes, coated conductors, Josephson junctions, SQUIDs, superconducting circuits, resonators, detectors, or superconducting quantum devices.
