Applied Physics

Applied Physics (AI Training)About The RoleWhat if your years of physics training could directly shape how AI understands the physical world — from quantum mechanics to thermodynamics? We're looking for PhD-level Applied Physicists to stress-test cutting-edge AI models, expose their blind spots, and help ensure they reason in ways that actually respect the laws of the universe.This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No AI background needed — just deep mastery of physics and a sharp, rigorous mind.Organization: AlignerrType: Hourly ContractLocation: RemoteCommitment: 10–40 hours/weekWhat You'll DoDesign advanced, open-ended physics problems — think PhD qualifying exam difficulty — that require multi-step reasoning and mathematical derivationAuthor rigorous "golden response" solutions with precise step-by-step workings, correct physical constants, and flawless unit conversionsAudit AI-generated solutions and simulations for physical consistency, identifying where models "hallucinate" results that violate first principlesProvide structured, expert feedback that improves AI reasoning around boundary conditions, conservation laws, and physical constraintsWork independently and asynchronously — fully on your own scheduleWho You AreHolds a PhD (completed or near completion) in Applied Physics, Physics, Engineering Physics, or a closely related fieldDeep mastery across the core pillars of physics: Classical Mechanics, Electrodynamics, Statistical Mechanics, and Quantum MechanicsExceptionally clear analytical writer — able to explain complex derivations and physical phenomena in structured, precise EnglishUncompromising attention to detail when it comes to units, scientific notation, and logical proof structureSelf-motivated and consistent when working independentlyNo prior AI experience requiredNice to HaveExperience with data annotation, scientific dataset evaluation, or quality assurance workflowsProficiency with computational tools such as Python (NumPy/SciPy), MATLAB, or COMSOLBackground in research-level benchmarking or academic problem-settingWhy Join UsWork on high-impact AI projects alongside world-leading research labsFully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits youFreelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, intellectually rigorous workGain hands-on exposure to how frontier AI models are built and trainedContribute to ensuring AI systems respect the fundamental laws of the physical worldPotential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
