Applied Physics Specialist

Applied Physics Specialist (AI Training) About the Role What if your years of physics expertise could directly shape how AI understands the fundamental laws of the universe? We're looking for PhD-level Applied Physicists to challenge and evaluate cutting-edge Large Language Models — probing their reasoning across quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and beyond. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for researchers and specialists who want high-impact work on their own schedule. No prior AI experience required — just deep domain mastery and an uncompromising eye for physical truth. Organization : Alignerr Type : Hourly Contract Location : Remote Commitment : 10–40 hours/week What You'll Do Design Advanced Physics Problems — Craft PhD qualifying exam-level problems that demand multi-step logical reasoning, rigorous mathematical derivation, and mastery of core physical principles Author Gold-Standard Solutions — Write precise, step-by-step "golden responses" that serve as benchmarks for AI evaluation, with flawless units, constants, and logical flow Audit AI Reasoning — Evaluate AI-generated solutions and proofs for physical consistency, identifying where models hallucinate physics that violates first principles Refine Model Behavior — Provide structured, expert feedback that helps AI systems develop physics-informed reasoning — including boundary conditions, conservation laws, and real-world constraints Who You Are PhD completed or in final stages in Applied Physics, Physics, Engineering Physics, or a closely related field Deep mastery across the core pillars: Classical Mechanics, Electrodynamics, Statistical Mechanics, and Quantum Mechanics Exceptional ability to communicate complex physical phenomena and mathematical derivations in clear, structured written English Meticulous attention to detail — units, scientific notation, and logical proof structure are second nature to you Self-directed and reliable when working independently No pr
