Applied Physics (AI Training) About the Role What if your expertise in quantum mechanics, electrodynamics, and thermodynamics could directly shape how AI understands the physical world? We're looking for PhD-level Applied Physicists to stress-test cutting-edge AI models — exposing flaws in their physical reasoning and helping ensure they never violate the fundamental laws of the universe. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No AI background needed — just deep mastery of physics and the ability to think rigorously about how the world works. Organization : Alignerr Type : Hourly Contract Location : Remote Commitment : 10–40 hours/week What You'll Do Design advanced, open-ended physics problems at PhD qualifying exam level — requiring multi-step logical reasoning and rigorous mathematical derivation Author gold-standard solutions with precise, step-by-step workings, correct physical constants, and flawless unit conversions Audit AI-generated simulations, derivations, and proofs for physical consistency — identifying where models "hallucinate" physics that violates first principles Provide structured, expert feedback to improve AI reasoning around conservation laws, boundary conditions, symmetry arguments, and physical constraints Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule Who You Are Holds a PhD (completed or near completion) in Applied Physics, Physics, Engineering Physics, or a closely related field Deep command of the core pillars: Classical Mechanics, Electrodynamics, Statistical Mechanics, and Quantum Mechanics Exceptional ability to explain complex physical phenomena and mathematical derivations in clear, structured written English Uncompromising precision with units, scientific notation, dimensional analysis, and the logical structure of proofs Naturally detail-oriented with a systematic, methodical approach to problem-solving No prior AI or tech experience required Nice to Have Experience with data annotation, scientific data

Frequently asked questions
How do I apply for the Applied Physics role at Alignerr?
Applications go through Alignerr's own portal - HumanSourcer links to the listing and never collects applications or handles hiring. Alignerr's access model is "Open / self-serve" (Open roles / applications). This listing was first seen here on October 4, 2026 and was still live at the last check.
Is the Applied Physics role at Alignerr remote?
Yes - Alignerr lists this role as remote.
What does the Applied Physics role at Alignerr pay?
Alignerr lists this role's pay as $40–$80/hr, quoted from the listing rather than estimated.
What kind of work is Applied Physics?
Data annotation / labeling. AI training, evaluation, coding, writing and specialist review
Is Alignerr a legitimate AI-training platform?
Labelbox expert network - and that relationship is rated "Confirmed" here because it can be checked against labelbox.com rather than taken on Alignerr's word. Confidence describes how well the ownership is evidenced. It is not a rating of how the platform treats the people who work for it, which no public source covers reliably.
