Applied Physics Specialist (AI Training)
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?
About The Role
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: ***** 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
