Senior Level
$40/hr - $80/hrAlignerr is a company partnering with leading AI research teams to build and train advanced AI models. They are seeking PhD-level Applied Physicists to evaluate and challenge Large Language Models in understanding physical concepts and document their reasoning failures. The role involves designing complex physics problems, authoring solutions, and providing feedback to enhance AI reasoning capabilities.
Computer Software
Responsibilities
Develop Complex Problems: Design advanced, open-ended physics problems (equivalent to PhD qualifying exams) that require multi-step logical reasoning and mathematical derivation
Author Ground-Truth Solutions: Create "golden responses" that provide rigorous, step-by-step solutions, ensuring that every physical constant and unit conversion is perfect
Technical Auditing: Evaluate AI-generated simulations and proofs for physical consistency. You will identify where a model "hallucinates" physics that violates first principles
Refine Reasoning: Provide structured feedback to improve the model’s ability to perform "Physics-Informed" reasoning, helping it understand constraints like boundary conditions and conservation laws
Qualification
Required
Advanced Degree: PhD (completed or in the final stages) in Applied Physics, Physics, or a closely related field (e.g., Engineering Physics)
Domain Expertise: Mastery of the core pillars of physics: Classical Mechanics, Electrodynamics, Statistical Mechanics, and Quantum Mechanics
Analytical Writing: Exceptional ability to explain complex physical phenomena and mathematical derivations in clear, structured English
Precision: An uncompromising eye for detail regarding units, scientific notation, and the logical flow of a proof
No AI experience required
Preferred
Prior experience with data annotation, data quality, or evaluation systems for scientific datasets
Experience with tools such as MATLAB, COMSOL, or Python (NumPy/SciPy)
Benefits
Competitive pay and flexible remote work.
Freelance perks: autonomy, flexibility, and global collaboration.
