About the Role
What if your deep expertise in semiconductor materials or molecular modeling could directly shape how AI reasons about the physical world? We're looking for Material Science specialists — Masters and PhDs — to work alongside leading AI research teams, helping build AI models that genuinely understand advanced scientific concepts.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role designed for experts who want to do meaningful, intellectually engaging work on their own schedule. No prior AI experience required — your domain knowledge is what matters.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Develop, solve, and review advanced material science problems with real-world scientific relevance
- Apply your expertise in semiconductor materials, molecular modeling, or related areas to design complex, rigorous problem statements
- Evaluate AI-generated responses for scientific accuracy, depth, and clarity
- Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and fellow domain experts to improve AI reasoning in your field
- Ensure scientific rigor and precision across all deliverables
- Work independently on task-based assignments — fully on your own schedule
Who You Are
- Master's or PhD in Material Science or a closely related field
- Deep expertise in semiconductor materials, molecular modeling, or equivalent specialization
- Proficient in Python or MATLAB for research or technical problem-solving
- Exceptionally detail-oriented with strong written and verbal communication skills in English
- Self-motivated and comfortable working independently in a remote, asynchronous environment
Nice to Have
- Prior experience with data annotation, data quality evaluation, or AI training workflows
- Background in computational materials science, thin films, photovoltaics, or device physics
- Experience communicating complex scientific concepts in writing for non-specialist audiences
- Familiarity with AI tools or evaluation platforms as an end user
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside the world's leading AI research labs
- Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
- Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, expert-level work
- Make a direct, tangible impact on how AI understands and reasons about advanced material science
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
