• Develop clear, step‑by‑step solutions with rigorous logic.
• Evaluate AI outputs for accuracy and quality of reasoning.
• Collaborate with researchers to refine benchmarks across undergraduate to PhD‑level physics topics.

Requirements

• PhD (pursuing or completed) in Physics, Applied Physics, or a related field.
• Strong physics reasoning and problem‑solving skills across advanced domains.
• Ability to communicate complex ideas clearly in writing and provide structured feedback.
• No AI experience required.

Perks

• Fully remote, flexible work.
• Work on cutting‑edge AI projects with leading LLM companies.

Offer Details

• Pay rate: $100+/hour (depends on role and candidate expertise).
• Assessment: Shortlisted experts complete an evaluation before selection.
• Assignments: Contract roles with defined start/end dates; up to 40 hrs/week.
