Remote Applied Physicist for AI Reasoning & Validation

Alignerr Corp.; Sheffield (TX); Remote; USD 83,000 - 165,000; Part time

Job summary

Alignerr is seeking PhD-level Applied Physicists to stress-test and improve AI reasoning with deep physics knowledge. This fully remote hourly contract invites researchers to shape how AI interprets physical laws, without requiring prior AI experience.

You will design open-ended physics problems, author golden solutions, and audit AI models for conservation laws and boundary conditions, working on your own schedule.

Qualifications

• PhD completed or in final stages in Applied Physics or related field.
• Deep mastery of core physics pillars including classical mechanics, electrodynamics, statistical mechanics and quantum mechanics.
• Ability to explain complex phenomena and derivations clearly in English.

Responsibilities

• Design advanced physics problems requiring multi-step reasoning and first-principles thinking.
• Create rigorous, step-by-step golden solutions with precise units and constants.
• Audit AI reasoning for physical consistency and identify non-physical model behavior.
• Refine model behaviour to improve physics-informed reasoning across topics.
• Work independently on asynchronous, task-based assignments.
