This role involves evaluating and improving large language models' understanding of physics by designing advanced problems, authoring ground-truth solutions, and auditing AI-generated reasoning across quantum mechanics, electrodynamics, thermodynamics, and other domains. It is suited for PhD-level applied physicists who want to contribute to AI training while working independently on a flexible schedule.
This remote contract asks a physics expert to write advanced problems that test how well AI models reason, along with clear step-by-step solutions. The work also includes checking AI-generated answers for accuracy and quality of reasoning, and helping researchers refine benchmarks. It is aimed at people holding a master's degree in physics or a related field, and no prior AI experience is needed.
This contract role asks a senior researcher in computer science or computational physics to guide frontier AI models and agents through multi-step research, from proofs and algorithms to numerical experiments and simulations. The person checks the results, judges their correctness and novelty, and writes memos on where the models succeed or fail. No prior AI experience is needed, since the domain expertise is the core requirement.
