Candidates will work independently while contributing to high-impact AI projects.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design challenging, rigorous physics problems spanning mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and more
- Develop clear, step-by-step solutions that demonstrate structured reasoning
- Evaluate AI-generated responses for scientific accuracy and quality of reasoning
- Identify gaps in AI understanding and provide expert feedback to improve model performance
- Collaborate with researchers to develop and refine benchmarks across undergraduate to Masters-level physics topics
- Work independently and asynchronously on your own schedule
Key Skills:
- Currently pursuing or holding a Master's degree in Physics, Applied Physics, or a closely related field
- Strong problem-solving ability across advanced physics domains
- Able to communicate complex ideas clearly and precisely in writing
- Detail-oriented with a structured, analytical approach to feedback
- Self-motivated and comfortable working independently
- No prior AI experience required
- Experience with data annotation, data quality assessment, or evaluation systems (nice to have)
- Familiarity with how large language models work (nice to have)
- Background spanning multiple physics subfields (nice to have)
