Summary
Prolific is a platform that connects researchers and organizations with human participants to support AI development through high-quality human data. The role involves using materials science expertise to train and evaluate AI models by ranking technical explanations, auditing scientific documents and graphical abstracts, fact-checking generated data, and verifying technical summaries.
Responsibilities
- **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
Skills
- At minimum, a BSc (Bachelor of Science) in Materials Science, Metallurgy, Chemical Engineering, or a closely related STEM field
- Deep interest or experience in materials research, including the ability to interpret phase diagrams, crystalline structures, and property data
- Strong attention to detail and the ability to concentrate on complex technical tasks for extended periods
- A valid LinkedIn profile or professional history to verify your credentials during the screening process
- A PayPal account to receive payment from our clients
