Materials Science Expert

Part-time contractRemote$80 - $150/hour

About this role

Schedule: Flexible—you choose the hours and days you work, including weekends if desired We are looking for a highly skilled Materials Science Expert to contribute to an AI training project involving computational materials science, materials modeling, scientific simulation, and Python. The work involves creating, solving, reviewing, and validating engineering tasks related to material structures, properties, processing, performance, and failure. A representative task may require constructing a material or atomic model, configuring and running a simulation, calculating relevant properties, analyzing the resulting outputs, and determining whether the solution is computationally valid and physically meaningful.

Requirements

  • An MS or PhD in Materials Science and Engineering, Metallurgy, or a closely related discipline.
  • Or.
  • An MS or PhD in Mechanical Engineering or Chemical Engineering with a substantial materials specialization.
  • Strong understanding of materials behavior and relevant structure-property relationships.
  • Experience with computational materials modeling, simulation, characterization, or materials-focused engineering analysis.
  • Experience using coding agents and Python.
