About the Role

We're looking for Masters-level physicists to help train and evaluate some of the world's most advanced AI models. Your deep understanding of physics will directly shape how AI reasons through complex problems — from classical mechanics to quantum theory.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role designed for physicists who want to do intellectually stimulating work on their own schedule. No AI background required — just strong physics fundamentals and a sharp analytical mind.

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

What You'll Do

  • Design challenging, graduate-level physics problems to rigorously test AI reasoning and problem-solving capabilities
  • Develop clear, well-structured solutions with step-by-step logical explanations
  • Evaluate AI-generated responses for accuracy, depth, and quality of scientific reasoning
  • Collaborate with research teams to build and refine benchmarks spanning undergraduate to Masters-level physics topics
  • Provide expert feedback that directly improves how leading AI models handle STEM content

Who You Are

  • Currently pursuing or holding a Masters degree in Physics, Applied Physics, or a closely related field
  • Strong command of advanced physics domains including mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and more
  • Able to communicate complex scientific concepts clearly and concisely in writing
  • Detail-oriented and comfortable providing structured, critical feedback
  • Self-motivated and able to work independently and asynchronously
  • No prior AI or data annotation experience required

Nice to Have

  • Experience with data annotation, evaluation systems, or quality assessment
  • Familiarity with AI language models or benchmarking methodologies
  • Background in teaching, tutoring, or academic writing

Why Join Us

  • Work directly with cutting-edge AI models from top research labs
  • Fully remote and asynchronous — work when and where it suits you
  • Freelance flexibility: high autonomy, no micromanagement
  • Contribute to meaningful research that shapes the future of AI in science
  • Potential for ongoing contract renewals and expanded project involvement
  • Engage with a global network of subject matter experts and researchers
