Applied Physics Specialist (AI Training) 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 cutting-edge Large Language Models — exposing the gaps in their physical reasoning and helping ensure they respect the fundamental laws that govern reality. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for researchers and scientists who want to do intellectually rigorous work on their own schedule.

No prior AI experience required — just deep domain expertise and a sharp, uncompromising mind.

Organization: Alignerr

Type: Hourly Contract

Location: Remote

Commitment: 10–40 hours/week What You'll Do Design Advanced Problems — Craft PhD qualifying exam-level physics problems that demand multi-step logical reasoning, rigorous mathematical derivation, and mastery of first principles

Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Write definitive, step-by-step "golden responses" with flawless physical constants, unit conversions, and airtight logical flow

Audit AI Reasoning — Evaluate AI-generated proofs and simulations for physical consistency, identifying where models "hallucinate" physics that violates conservation laws or boundary conditions

Refine Model Behaviour — Provide structured, expert feedback that helps AI systems develop genuine physics-informed reasoning across topics like quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, and statistical mechanics





Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule Who You Are Hold a PhD (completed or near completion) 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

Exceptionally clear and precise scientific writer — you can articulate complex derivations in structured, accessible English

Obsessively detail-oriented when it comes to units, notation, and the logical integrity of a proof

Self-motivated and consistent when working independently

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

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

Background in research, academia, or applied physics industries

Familiarity with AI tools or language model outputs as an end user Why Join Us Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs and AI teams

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

Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, intellectually stimulating work

Direct impact on how AI reasons about the physical universe — work that actually matters

Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch

Collaborate with a global community of domain experts pushing the frontier of AI capability
