Remote Physics Assessment Specialist - AI Trainer ($35-$75 per hour)

Role Overview

We are seeking expert physicists to author and review high-quality academic assessment content for an AI research initiative. You will write and verify rigorous multiple-choice questions across core physics domains, evaluate solution quality, and help establish gold-standard benchmarks used to advance AI capabilities.

Task Types

1. Question Authoring — Create original, challenging multiple-choice questions in your area of physics expertise, rate their difficulty, and submit them for review.
2. Question Verification — Review pre-written questions for accuracy, clarity, and rigor. Edit where needed, rate difficulty, and document any changes made.

Physics Domains Covered

Theoretical, Classical Mechanics, Optics & Acoustics, Electromagnetism & Photonics, Statistical Mechanics & Thermodynamics, Astrophysics & Cosmology, Particle & Nuclear Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, Relativity, Solid State & Atomic Physics.

Key Responsibilities

• Author original physics questions that test deep conceptual understanding, not surface-level recall.
• Ensure questions are unambiguous, self-contained, and precisely defined — all necessary information must be in the problem statement.
• Rate each question's difficulty: Medium (intro undergraduate), Hard (advanced undergraduate), or Expert (post-graduate and above).
• Provide 1 correct answer and 9 plausible but subtly incorrect alternatives that challenge expert-level solvers.
• Write step-by-step chain-of-thought solutions with clear, concise intermediate steps in plain text (not required to include markdown).
• Supply 1–5 academic references per question from reputable sources (peer-reviewed journals, university repositories).
• For verification tasks: flag issues with clarity, completeness, precision, or solvability and justify any edits made.

Ideal Qualifications

• PhD or doctoral candidate in Physics, Applied Physics, Astrophysics, or a closely related field.
• Master's degree considered for candidates with exceptional depth in a specific subdomain.
• Strong command of graduate-level physics concepts and mathematical formalism.
• Experience with rigorous academic problem design or physics olympiad writing is a strong plus.
• Excellent written English and ability to express complex ideas clearly and concisely.
