About Prolific

Prolific is not just another player in the AI space – we are building the biggest pool of quality human data in the world.

Over 35,000 AI developers, researchers, and organizations use Prolific to gather data from paid study participants with a wide variety of experiences, knowledge, and skills.

The role

We’re looking for Materials Science Specialists to join our Expert Network to help train and evaluate cutting‑edge AI models using real scientific expertise. If you have a background in materials research, engineering, or technical analysis, we’ll send you a quick 10- to 15‑minute test to assess your skills and suitability for AI tasks. If successful, you’ll be invited to join Prolific as a participant, where you’ll get paid to train and evaluate powerful AI models.

Researchers looking for your skills tend to pay $40+/hr, depending on skills and experience level. You must be prepared to complete paid tasks that require one hour of uninterrupted work , though many are shorter.

What you’ll bring

• Educational Background: at minimum, a BSc (Bachelor of Science) in Materials Science, Metallurgy, Chemical Engineering, or a closely related STEM field.
• Technical Literacy: deep interest or experience in materials research, including the ability to interpret phase diagrams, crystalline structures, and property data.
• Analytical Rigor: strong attention to detail and the ability to concentrate on complex technical tasks for extended periods.
• Professional Verification: a valid LinkedIn profile or professional history to verify your credentials during the screening process.
• A PayPal account to receive payment from our clients

What you’ll be doing in the role

• AI Evaluation & Ranking: comparing multiple AI-generated technical explanations or research summaries and ranking them based on scientific accuracy and logic.
• Strategic Document Audit: reviewing Materials Science scientific papers alongside AI-generated graphical abstracts to identify inaccuracies or misrepresentations.
• Fact-Checking: verifying that the AI-generated data (formulas, material properties, and experimental results) faithfully represent the source scientific documentation.
• Model Alignment: providing high-level feedback to help AI models produce “enterprise-ready” corporate and scientific intelligence.
• Technical Verification: auditing the structural integrity of summaries involving complex chemical compositions and material behaviors.

Key Technologies

• Generative AI (LLMs): training and fine‑tuning models specialized in STEM and corporate intelligence.
• Scientific Visualization: evaluating AI-generated graphical abstracts and data visualizations.
• Research Databases: navigating technical literature to provide “ground truth” data.

Benefits

• competitive pay rates, flexible hours, and the ability to work from home.

We’ve built a unique platform that connects researchers and companies with a global pool of participants, enabling the collection of high-quality, ethically sourced human behavioural data and feedback. This data is the cornerstone of developing more accurate, nuanced, and aligned AI systems.

We believe that the next leap in AI capabilities won’t come solely from scaling existing models, but from integrating diverse human perspectives and behaviours into AI development. By providing this crucial human data infrastructure, Prolific is positioning itself at the forefront of the next wave of AI innovation – one that reflects the breadth and the best of humanity.
