AI Trainer - Materials Science Specialists (Remote - Leeds)

Role overview

Join an expert network as a part-time Materials Science specialist supporting AI research and development, working remotely from the Leeds area. The role involves auditing scientific papers and machine-generated graphical abstracts to help improve the accuracy of large language models. Participation is structured as an opt-in talent pool, so individual assignments are offered based on client demand and fit rather than guaranteed hours.

Responsibilities

• Review materials science research papers alongside LLM-produced graphical abstracts and flag discrepancies between the two.
• Evaluate whether the generated visuals faithfully summarize the source paper's findings, methods, and conclusions.
• Provide structured feedback and corrections that can be used to refine model outputs.
• Complete focused, paid tasks that may require up to one hour of uninterrupted concentration.
• Contribute domain expertise to researchers building more reliable AI systems.

Requirements

• Master's degree or higher in materials science or a closely related discipline.
• Demonstrated depth of knowledge in materials science research and publishing practices.
• Prior experience with fact-checking, peer review, or AI-evaluation work is helpful.
• A verifiable professional profile (such as a LinkedIn presence or academic record).
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to sustain concentration on complex technical content.
• Reliable high-speed internet connection and access to a personal computer.

Nice to have

• Familiarity with how scientific figures and abstracts are constructed and interpreted.
• Experience annotating datasets or working with research-platform tooling.

Benefits and work setup

• Fully remote work with flexible scheduling.
• Typical engagement rate of $40+/hr, with task length varying but generally under one hour.
• Onboarding is streamlined once an assessment is passed.
