Applied Physics Specialist

Applied Physics Specialist (AI Training)About The RoleWhat if your expertise in physics could directly shape how AI understands the fundamental laws of the universe? We're looking for PhD-level Applied Physicists to stress-test cutting-edge AI models — probing their reasoning across quantum mechanics, electrodynamics, thermodynamics, and beyond.This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No AI background needed — just deep mastery of physics and the ability to think rigorously about where AI reasoning breaks down.Organization: AlignerrType: Hourly ContractLocation: RemoteCommitment: 10–40 hours/weekWhat You'll DoDesign Advanced Problems — Craft PhD qualifying exam-level physics problems that demand multi-step logical reasoning, complex mathematical derivation, and first-principles thinkingAuthor Gold-Standard Solutions — Write rigorous, step-by-step model answers where every constant, unit conversion, and logical step is precisely correctAudit AI Reasoning — Evaluate AI-generated proofs and simulations for physical consistency, identifying where models "hallucinate" physics that violates fundamental lawsRefine Model Behavior — Provide structured, expert feedback to improve AI reasoning around boundary conditions, conservation laws, and physics-informed constraintsWho You ArePhD completed or near-completion in Applied Physics, Physics, Engineering Physics, or a closely related fieldDeep mastery across the core pillars: Classical Mechanics, Electrodynamics, Statistical Mechanics, and Quantum MechanicsExceptional ability to explain complex physical phenomena and mathematical derivations in clear, structured EnglishUncompromising attention to detail — units, scientific notation, and logical flow of proof matter to youSelf-motivated and reliable when working independently and asynchronouslyNo prior AI or machine learning experience requiredNice to HaveExperience with data annotation, scientific dataset evaluation, or quality assurance workflowsProficiency with MATLAB, COMSOL, Python (NumPy/SciPy), or similar computational toolsBackground in research, academic publishing, or technical writingWhy Join UsWork alongside world-leading AI research labs on genuinely frontier problemsFully remote and flexible — structure your hours around your life, not the other way aroundFreelance autonomy with meaningful, intellectually stimulating workGain rare, direct exposure to how large language models are trained and evaluated at the frontierPotential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
