Materials Science Domain Expert is a remote review track for evaluating AI outputs across materials science reasoning, calculations, and research workflows.

About the role

Materials Science Domain Expert is a remote review track for evaluating AI outputs across materials science reasoning, calculations, and research workflows. Reviewers grade derivations and assumptions, reproduce key results, and document the correct method so the modeling team can train on it.
Materials science models live or die on whether their derivations actually hold up under scrutiny. AuraOne uses scientific specialists to grade outputs the way a peer reviewer would — checking assumptions, reproducing key steps, and capturing the right method alongside the wrong one.
Bring scientific and technical domain expertise into AI reasoning, research, and dataset review.

Responsibilities

• Review AI outputs against current materials science methods, conventions, and prior work for Materials Science Domain Expert assignments.
• Reproduce or sanity-check key derivations, calculations, or experimental claims.
• Flag dimensional, methodological, and citation errors with structured severity tags.
• Capture the corrected reasoning or worked example so the modeling team can train on it.Track STEM research review Work model Remote · Independent specialist contractor Compensation $70–$110 / hr Eligible from US
