Applied Physics Specialist (AI Training) About The Role What if your deep expertise in physics could directly shape how AI understands the physical world — from quantum mechanics to thermodynamics — for millions of users worldwide? We're looking for PhD-level Applied Physicists to put cutting-edge AI models to the test, exposing the gaps in their physical reasoning and helping build systems that actually respect the laws of nature. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for researchers and specialists who want meaningful, intellectually stimulating work on their own schedule.

No prior AI experience required — just a rigorous command of physics and an uncompromising eye for scientific accuracy.

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 challenges requiring multi-step logical reasoning, mathematical derivation, and deep physical intuition across domains like quantum mechanics, electrodynamics, and thermodynamics

Author rigorous ground-truth solutions — produce precise, step-by-step "golden responses" where every physical constant, unit, and logical step is exactly right

Audit AI-generated reasoning — evaluate AI outputs for physical consistency, identifying where models hallucinate physics or violate first principles like conservation of energy and momentum

Provide structured feedback — deliver detailed,



actionable feedback that improves how AI models handle boundary conditions, symmetry arguments, and physics-informed constraints

Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule Who You Are Holds a PhD (completed or near-final stage) in Applied Physics, Physics, Engineering Physics, or a closely related field

Deep mastery of the core pillars: Classical Mechanics, Electrodynamics, Statistical Mechanics, and Quantum Mechanics

Exceptional ability to explain complex physical phenomena and mathematical derivations in explicit, structured written English

Uncompromising precision with units, scientific notation, dimensional analysis, and the logical flow of a proof

Self-motivated and consistent when working independently

No prior AI or data annotation experience required Nice to Have Experience with data annotation, scientific dataset evaluation, or quality assurance for technical content

Proficiency with computational tools such as Python (NumPy/SciPy), MATLAB, or COMSOL

Background in research-level benchmarking or academic problem authoring

Familiarity with AI language models as an end user Why Join Us Work on high-impact AI projects in collaboration with leading AI research labs

Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you

Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, intellectually challenging work

Gain firsthand exposure to how cutting-edge large language models are trained and evaluated

Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
