Opportunity Overview
Handshake is looking for experienced physicists to support AI research through flexible, part-time contract work. This is not a traditional job — you'll draw on your hands-on experience in computational, physical, or theoretical physics to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI reason like a practicing physicist.
This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity you can take on alongside your current role.
What You'll Do
- Use your domain expertise to create expert-level physics problems and scenarios grounded in real simulation, modeling, and computational workflows
- Review and evaluate AI-generated responses for technical accuracy, numerical rigor, and alignment with how the work is actually done
- Provide structured written feedback to help improve AI model performance
- Complete tasks at your own pace with no set schedule or minimum hour requirement
Qualifications
- Degree — Master's or PhD in Physics or any related field. An MS paired with industry experience also qualifies
Additional qualifications (not required, but strengthen your application)
- Proficiency running large-scale simulations on HPC clusters across multiple scientific computing environments
- Experience with lattice methods or other specialized techniques within your subfield
Required for all applicants
- Must have Indian work authorization
- Strong written communication and attention to detail
- Ability to explain complex physics concepts clearly
- Ability to work independently in a remote, asynchronous environment

Is Handshake AI a legitimate AI-training platform?
Handshake AI fellowship / opportunity network - and that relationship is rated "Confirmed" here because it can be checked against joinhandshake.com rather than taken on Handshake AI'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.
