Applied Physics Specialist (AI Training) About The Role What if your deep expertise in physics could directly shape how AI understands the physical world? We're looking for PhD-level Applied Physicists to stress-test the reasoning of cutting-edge Large Language Models — probing their grasp of quantum mechanics, electrodynamics, thermodynamics, and beyond. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No AI background needed — just mastery of physics and a rigorous, analytical mind.

Organization: Alignerr

Type: Hourly Contract

Location: Remote

Commitment: 10–40 hours/week What You'll Do Design advanced, open-ended physics problems at the level of PhD qualifying exams — requiring multi-step logical reasoning and mathematical derivation

Author rigorous "golden" solutions with precise step-by-step workings, ensuring every physical constant, unit, and logical transition is exactly right

Audit AI-generated simulations, proofs, and explanations for physical consistency — identifying where models hallucinate violations of first principles

Provide structured, expert feedback to improve AI reasoning around boundary conditions, conservation laws, and physics-informed 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 mastery across the core pillars: Classical Mechanics, Electrodynamics, Statistical Mechanics, and Quantum Mechanics

Exceptional ability to communicate complex physical phenomena and mathematical derivations in clear, structured English

Uncompromising precision with units, scientific notation, dimensional analysis, and logical proof structure

Naturally detail-oriented and systematic in evaluating technical content

No prior AI or data annotation experience required Nice to Have Prior experience with data annotation, scientific dataset evaluation, or quality assurance systems

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

Research background in a specialised physics subfield Why Join Us Work alongside world-leading AI research teams on genuinely frontier problems

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

Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, high-impact technical work

Get rare, hands-on exposure to how advanced LLMs are trained and evaluated

Contribute to ensuring that AI reasoning stays grounded in the fundamental laws of the universe

Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
