About the role

Your deep understanding of physics will directly shape how AI reasons through complex scientific problems — from undergraduate fundamentals to graduate-level challenges.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role designed for physics professionals and graduate students who want to contribute to meaningful, frontier AI work on their own schedule.

Why Join Us

  • Work on frontier AI projects with some of the world's top research labs.
  • Fully remote and flexible — design your own schedule.
  • Freelance perks: high autonomy, variety, and global collaboration.
  • Make a tangible impact on how AI understands and reasons through science.
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract renewals.

Responsibilities

  • Design rigorous, original physics problems spanning mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, and more.
  • Develop clear, step-by-step solutions that demonstrate precise logical reasoning.
  • Evaluate AI-generated responses for scientific accuracy, depth, and quality of reasoning.
  • Identify gaps, errors, and weaknesses in how AI models approach physics problems.
  • Collaborate with researchers to build and refine benchmarks across undergraduate to Masters-level topics.
  • Work independently and asynchronously on your own schedule.

Required skills

  • Strong problem-solving ability across multiple advanced physics domains.
  • Able to communicate complex scientific concepts clearly and precisely in writing.
  • Detail-oriented with a structured approach to evaluation and feedback.
  • Self-motivated and comfortable working independently.

Preferred skills

  • Experience with data annotation, evaluation systems, or academic assessment.
  • Familiarity with AI or machine learning concepts.
  • Background in research, tutoring, or technical writing.

Experience and education
