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, adaptable 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
