Semiconductor Material Science (Masters/PhDs)

Semiconductor Material Science Expert (AI Training)

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 PhD holders — to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models on advanced scientific problems.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for researchers and domain experts who want to do meaningful, high-impact work on their own schedule. No prior AI experience needed — just rigorous scientific knowledge and a sharp eye for quality.

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

What You'll Do

• Develop, solve, and critically review advanced material science problems with real-world scientific relevance
• Apply your expertise in semiconductor materials, molecular modeling, or related domains to design complex, rigorous problem statements
• Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and fellow domain experts to strengthen AI model reasoning
• Evaluate AI-generated scientific content for accuracy, depth, and methodological soundness
• Ensure scientific rigor, clarity, and precision across all deliverables
• Complete task-based assignments independently 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 adjacent specializations
• Comfortable coding in Python or MATLAB for research or technical applications
• Naturally detail-oriented with a systematic, rigorous approach to scientific problems
• Strong written communicator — you can explain complex concepts clearly and precisely
• Fluent in English

Nice to Have

• Prior experience with data annotation, data quality evaluation, or AI training workflows
• Background in computational materials science, thin films, nanomaterials, or device physics
• Experience reviewing or grading advanced scientific work
• Familiarity with AI tools or evaluation platforms as an end user

Why Join Us

• Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs and AI teams
• Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
