Summary: The Physics Subject Matter Expert role involves training and evaluating AI models by leveraging a deep understanding of physics principles. This fully remote position allows for flexible scheduling, enabling contributors to work independently on advanced physics problems and solutions. Candidates will collaborate with researchers to enhance AI's reasoning capabilities in physics, from undergraduate to graduate levels. No prior AI experience is required, making it accessible for those with a strong physics background.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design rigorous, advanced physics problems spanning mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, and more.
  • Develop clear, step-by-step solutions with precise, logical reasoning.
  • Evaluate AI-generated responses for scientific accuracy, depth, and quality of reasoning.
  • Identify gaps, errors, and weaknesses in AI outputs and provide structured feedback.
  • Collaborate with researchers to build 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 Masters degree (or higher) in Physics, Applied Physics, or a closely related field.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills across multiple advanced physics domains.
  • Able to communicate complex concepts clearly and precisely in writing.
  • Detail-oriented with a commitment to scientific rigor.
  • Self-motivated and comfortable working independently.
  • No prior AI experience required.
  • Experience with data annotation, content evaluation, or quality assurance is a plus.
  • Familiarity with AI or machine learning concepts is advantageous.
  • Background in tutoring, academic writing, or curriculum development is beneficial.
