Remote Materials Science AI Trainer Jobs
Materials scientists are in growing demand as AI labs push into physical-science reasoning. These roles involve evaluating battery and semiconductor chemistry, computational materials modeling, catalysis and surface science review, and crystal structure and phase-diagram verification. You will check whether AI-generated materials claims hold up against real physics and chemistry, not just plausible-sounding text. Ideal for Materials Scientists, Materials Engineers, and PhD candidates in condensed matter or solid-state chemistry. Pay: $75-$90/hr.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials science credentials do I need?
Bachelor's in materials science, materials engineering, or a closely related field (chemistry, condensed matter physics) at minimum. Master's or PhD strongly preferred for the highest-paying subfield tracks, like computational materials or semiconductor physics.
What will I evaluate?
Battery and semiconductor chemistry, crystal structures and phase diagrams, catalysis and surface reactions, and computational materials modeling (DFT, molecular dynamics). You'll check whether AI-generated explanations match real materials behavior instead of sounding plausible.
Do I need hands-on lab or fab experience?
Not always. Theoretical and computational backgrounds (simulation, modeling) qualify for several tracks. Hands-on experience with a named simulation or characterization tool (DFT codes, XRD, SEM) can unlock higher-paying, more specialized roles.
How many Materials Science AI training jobs are open right now?
This page is showing 15 listings, sourced from 6 platforms: Mercor (7), AfterQuery (2), Micro1 (2), Turing (2) and Meridial (1). The most recent one was picked up today. The count moves as platforms post and close roles, so treat it as a snapshot of today rather than a fixed figure.
What do Materials Science AI training jobs pay?
Most sit between $75 and $90 an hour, with a median of $90, measured across the 10 listings on this page that quote an hourly rate. The highest rate currently posted here is $175 an hour. These are the figures the platforms published, not our estimates, and the rate you are offered depends on how you do in that platform's assessment.
Are Materials Science roles paid hourly or per task?
Both appear here. 2 listings pay per task or per project rather than by the hour, and the rest quote an hourly rate. Per-task work suits people who are fast and accurate, since your effective hourly rate depends on how long each unit takes you.
Which platforms hire for Materials Science work?
Mercor (7), AfterQuery (2), Micro1 (2), Turing (2) and Meridial (1). No single one dominates this category, so it is worth holding accounts on more than one. Most contracts allow you to work through several platforms at the same time.
What kind of work do these Materials Science listings involve?
The roles here fall across 4 areas, led by STEM (10), Generalist (2), Data Science (1) and Software Engineering (1). The requirements named most often are Materials Science. Each listing spells out its own task type, so read the individual page before applying.
