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 stress-test cutting‐edge AI models — exposing gaps in their physical reasoning and helping ensure they don't hallucinate thermodynamics or violate conservation of energy.
Job Details
* 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 reasoning, mathematical derivation, and first‐principles thinking.
* Author rigorous "golden response" solutions with flawless step‐by‐step derivations, correct units, and precise physical constants.
* Audit AI‐generated solutions, simulations, and proofs for physical consistency — identifying where models hallucinate physics that violates fundamental laws.
* Provide structured, expert feedback to strengthen AI reasoning around boundary conditions, conservation laws, and domain‐specific constraints.
* Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule.
Who You Are
* PhD completed or in final stages in Applied Physics, Physics, Engineering Physics, or a closely related field.
* Deep command of core physics: Classical Mechanics, Electrodynamics, Statistical Mechanics, and Quantum Mechanics.
* Exceptional ability to explain complex physical phenomena and mathematical derivations in clear, structured written English.
* Uncompromising attention to detail — units, notation, and logical flow of a proof all matter to you.
* Self‐motivated and consistent when working independently.
* No prior AI or data experience required.
Nice to Have
* Experience with data annotation, scientific dataset evaluation, or quality assurance workflows.
* Proficiency with computational tools such as MATLAB, COMSOL, Python (NumPy/SciPy), or similar.
* Background in research‐level problem design or academic assessment.
* Familiarity with AI language models or prompt evaluation as an end user.
Why Join Us
* Work directly with leading AI research labs on some of the most technically challenging problems in AI development.
* Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you.
* Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task‐based work.
* Make a tangible impact on how AI reasons about the physical world.
* Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch.
