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, versatile 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.
• 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 explicit and accurate scientific writer — you can articulate complex derivations in structured, accessible English
• Obsessiv
