Applied Physics Specialist (AI Training) About The Role What if your deep expertise in physics could directly shape how AI understands the physical world — ensuring it never violates conservation of energy, misapplies quantum mechanics, or hallucinates impossible thermodynamic processes? We're looking for PhD-level Applied Physicists to challenge and evaluate cutting-edge Large Language Models on their understanding of fundamental physics. You'll design problems that push AI reasoning to its limits, author rigorous solutions, and document exactly where and how these models fail — work that directly influences how the next generation of AI is trained.

This is a fully remote, versátil contract role built for researchers and specialists who want to do meaningful, high-impact work on their own schedule.

Organization: Alignerr

Type: Hourly Contract

Location: Remote

Commitment: 10–40 hours/week What You'll Do Design Advanced Physics Problems — Craft open-ended, multi-step problems at PhD qualifying exam level, spanning quantum mechanics, electrodynamics, thermodynamics, and classical mechanics

Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Write rigorous, step-by-step "golden responses" with precise units, constants, and mathematical derivations that serve as definitive benchmarks

Audit AI Reasoning — Evaluate AI-generated proofs, simulations, and derivations for physical consistency — identifying where models hallucinate physics that violates first principles

Refine Model Behavior — Provide structured, expert feedback to improve AI reasoning around boundary conditions, conservation laws,



and physically constrained systems

Advance the Benchmark — Contribute to university-level and research-level evaluation frameworks that define how well AI truly understands the physical universe Who You Are Holds a PhD (completed or in final stages) in Applied Physics, Physics, Engineering Physics, or a closely related field

Deep mastery of the core pillars: Classical Mechanics, Electrodynamics, Statistical Mechanics, and Quantum Mechanics

Exceptional ability to communicate complex physical phenomena and mathematical derivations in clear, structured English

Uncompromising eye for detail — units, scientific notation, dimensional analysis, and logical proof structure

Self-directed and reliable when working independently on technical tasks

No prior AI or data annotation experience required Nice to Have Experience with data annotation, scientific dataset evaluation, or quality assurance for research content

Proficiency with computational tools such as Python (NumPy/SciPy), MATLAB, or COMSOL

Background in research publishing, academic instruction, or technical writing

Familiarity with AI or LLM evaluation frameworks Why Join Us Work on genuinely cutting-edge AI projects in collaboration with leading research labs

Fully remote and asynchronous — work when and where it suits you

Freelance autonomy with the depth and substance of real research work

Direct, tangible impact on how AI models reason about the physical world

Exposure to advanced LLMs and how frontier AI systems are trained and evaluated

Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
