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 RoleWe'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: AlignerrType: Hourly ContractLocation: RemoteCommitment: ***** hours/weekWhat You'll DoDesign Advanced Physics Problems — Craft open-ended, multi-step problems at PhD qualifying exam level, spanning quantum mechanics, electrodynamics, thermodynamics, and classical mechanicsAuthor Ground-Truth Solutions — Write rigorous, step-by-step "golden responses" with precise units, constants, and mathematical derivations that serve as definitive benchmarksAudit AI Reasoning — Evaluate AI-generated proofs, simulations, and derivations for physical consistency — identifying where models hallucinate physics that violates first principlesRefine Model Behavior — Provide structured, expert feedback to improve AI reasoning around boundary conditions, conservation laws,



and physically constrained systemsAdvance the Benchmark — Contribute to university-level and research-level evaluation frameworks that define how well AI truly understands the physical universeWho You AreHolds a PhD (completed or in final stages) in Applied Physics, Physics, Engineering Physics, or a closely related fieldDeep mastery of the core pillars: Classical Mechanics, Electrodynamics, Statistical Mechanics, and Quantum MechanicsExceptional ability to communicate complex physical phenomena and mathematical derivations in clear, structured EnglishUncompromising eye for detail — units, scientific notation, dimensional analysis, and logical proof structureSelf-directed and reliable when working independently on technical tasksNo prior AI or data annotation experience requiredNice to HaveExperience with data annotation, scientific dataset evaluation, or quality assurance for research contentProficiency with computational tools such as Python (NumPy/SciPy), MATLAB, or COMSOLBackground in research publishing, academic instruction, or technical writingFamiliarity with AI or LLM evaluation frameworksWhy Join UsWork on genuinely cutting-edge AI projects in collaboration with leading research labsFully remote and asynchronous — work when and where it suits youFreelance autonomy with the depth and substance of real research workDirect, tangible impact on how AI models reason about the physical worldExposure to advanced LLMs and how frontier AI systems are trained and evaluatedPotential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch#J-*****-Ljbffr
