We’re seeking physicists to join our AI training project. In this role, you will review AI-generated responses, evaluate the reasoning quality and step-by-step problem-solving, and provide expert feedback that helps models produce answers that are accurate, logical, and clearly explained. You will assess solutions for accuracy, clarity, and adherence to the prompt; identify errors in calculations, methodology, or conceptual understanding; fact-check physics information; write high-quality physics explanations and model solutions that demonstrate correct methods; and rate and compare multiple AI responses based on physics correctness and reasoning quality.
Responsibilities
- Develop AI Training Content: Create detailed prompts in various topics and responses to guide AI learning, ensuring the models reflect a comprehensive understanding of diverse subjects.
- Optimize AI Performance: Evaluate and rank AI responses to enhance the model's accuracy, fluency, and contextual relevance.
- Ensure Model Integrity: Test AI models for potential inaccuracies or biases, validating their reliability across use cases.
Requirements
- You hold an MS or PhD in Physics or a related field in one of the top 100 universities.
- Confident in physical reasoning, mechanics, electromagnetism, optics, thermodynamics/statistical mechanics, and modeling/systems thinking
- You have developed or critically reviewed complex physics content (e.g., problem banks, proofs, textbook sections, research notes).
- Expert at fact-checking information using public sources across multiple domains.
- You communicate physics clearly and turn advanced theory into real-world solutions.
- Background in research, analytical writing, debate, programming, or physics is preferred.
- Published in a peer-reviewed journal.
- English proficiency C1 and above with excellent writing skills.
- Bonus: Data labeling, RLHF, or AI model evaluation experience.

Practice questions and what each platform says about its screening for this kind of role:
Terms in this listing
- Prompt
- The input given to a model: a question, an instruction or a conversation so far.
- Relevance
- How well a result or answer matches what the user was looking for.
- Fact-checking
- Checking each claim in a model's answer against reliable sources and marking what is wrong or unsupported.
- Labeling
- Assigning a category or tag to an item, for example marking a review as positive or negative. Often used as a synonym for annotation.
- RLHF
- A way of improving a model by having people compare or score its answers, training a reward model on those judgements, then tuning the model to produce answers people prefer.
