About The Role What if your expertise in quantum mechanics, electrodynamics, and thermodynamics 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 — exposing where they break the laws of physics and helping build AI that actually gets the universe right.

Applied Physics (AI Training) About The Role What if your expertise in quantum mechanics, electrodynamics, and thermodynamics could directly shape how AI understands the physical world?

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for researchers and domain experts. No prior AI experience needed — just deep command 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 Physics Problems — Craft open-ended, multi-step problems at PhD qualifying exam level, spanning quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, classical mechanics, and thermodynamics

Author Gold-Standard Solutions — Write rigorous, step-by-step solutions with airtight derivations, correct physical constants, and perfect unit conversions

Audit AI Reasoning — Evaluate AI-generated proofs and simulations for physical consistency, identifying where models "hallucinate" physics that violates first principles

Refine Model Behaviour — Provide structured,



expert feedback that helps AI systems reason correctly about boundary conditions, conservation laws, and physical constraints

Document Failure Modes — Systematically record how and where AI reasoning breaks down so research teams can address core weaknesses

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 explain complex physical phenomena and mathematical derivations in clear, structured prose

Uncompromising attention to detail — units, notation, and logical flow matter to you

Self-directed and consistent when working independently on task-based assignments

No prior AI or machine learning experience required

Nice to Have

Experience with data annotation, scientific dataset evaluation, or quality assurance workflows

Proficiency with MATLAB, COMSOL, Python (NumPy/SciPy), or similar scientific computing tools

Background in research-level benchmarking or academic problem-setting

Familiarity with AI tools or language model evaluation as an end user

Why Join Us

Work on high-impact AI projects alongside world-leading research labs

Fully remote and adaptable — structure your work around your schedule

Freelance autonomy with the substance of meaningful, intellectually demanding work

Direct exposure to how frontier AI models are trained and evaluated

Contribute to ensuring AI respects the fundamental laws of the physical world

Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
