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 experts --- Masters and PhDs --- to work with cutting-edge AI research teams, helping train the next generation of AI models to think like world-class scientists.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for researchers and domain experts who want to contribute to something genuinely impactful --- on their own schedule, without leaving their area of expertise.

• 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 relevance
• Apply your expertise in semiconductor materials, molecular modeling, or related fields to construct complex, rigorous problem statements
• Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and fellow domain experts to sharpen AI model reasoning
• Evaluate AI-generated scientific content for accuracy, depth, and technical soundness
• Ensure scientific rigor and clarity across all deliverables --- from problem design to written feedback

Who You Are

• Holds a Master's or PhD in Material Science or a closely related field
• Strong expertise in semiconductor materials, molecular modeling, or related subfields
• Proficient in Python or MATLAB through academic research or applied projects
• Exceptionally clear written and verbal communicator with sharp attention to detail
• Self-directed and comfortable working independently in an async environment
• Based in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, or New Zealand

Nice to Have

• Prior experience with data annotation, data quality evaluation, or AI training workflows
• Background in computational materials science or materials simulation
• Experience writing technical documentation, peer reviews, or research assessments

Why Join Us

• Work directly with leading AI research labs on cutting-edge model development
• Fully remote and flexible --- structure your hours around your life and existing commitments
• Freelance autonomy with the substance of meaningful, high-level scientific work
• Apply your specialist knowledge in a novel, high-impact context beyond traditional research roles
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
