Material Science Expert (Masters/PhDs)

Material Science Expert (AI Training)
About The Role
What if your years of advanced study in material science could directly shape how AI reasons about semiconductors, molecular structures, and the physical world? We're looking for Material Science experts — Masters and PhD holders — to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models, ensuring they think with the depth and rigor of a real domain specialist.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for researchers and scientists who want to put their expertise to work in a meaningful new way. No AI background needed — your deep knowledge of materials is exactly what we're looking for.
