About the Role

We're looking for physics experts to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models. Your deep understanding of physical principles will directly shape how AI reasons through complex scientific problems — making a real impact on the future of intelligent systems.

This is a fully remote contract role designed to fit around your existing schedule. Whether you're a graduate student, researcher, or working physicist, you can contribute on your own terms.

  • Organization: Alignerr
  • Type: Hourly Contract
  • Location: Remote
  • Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

  • Design challenging, rigorous physics problems spanning mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, and more
  • Develop clear, step-by-step solutions with well-structured logical reasoning
  • Evaluate AI-generated responses for scientific accuracy, reasoning quality, and completeness
  • Identify where AI models fall short and provide actionable, structured feedback
  • Collaborate with researchers to build and refine benchmarks from undergraduate through Masters level
  • Work independently and asynchronously on your own schedule

Who You Are

  • Currently pursuing or have completed a Masters degree in Physics, Applied Physics, or a closely related field
  • Strong problem-solving ability across multiple advanced physics domains
  • Able to communicate complex ideas clearly and precisely in writing
  • Detail-oriented with a systematic approach to evaluating quality
  • Self-motivated and comfortable working independently
  • No prior AI experience required

Nice to Have

  • Experience in academic research, tutoring, or scientific writing
  • Familiarity with data annotation, evaluation systems, or quality assurance workflows
  • Exposure to machine learning or AI research environments

Why Join Us

  • Work on frontier AI projects alongside leading research labs
  • Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
