Physics Subject Matter Expert (AI Training)

About the Role

We're looking for physics experts in Sydney and across Australia to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models. Your deep understanding of physics will directly shape how AI reasons through complex problems — from undergraduate mechanics to graduate-level electromagnetism and beyond.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role where your subject matter expertise is the most valuable thing you bring. No AI background required.

  • Organization: Alignerr
  • Type: Hourly Contract
  • Location: Remote (Sydney, Australia)
  • Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

  • Design challenging, rigorous physics problems across domains such as mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum physics
  • Develop clear, step-by-step solutions that demonstrate precise reasoning and logical structure
  • Evaluate AI-generated responses for scientific accuracy, depth of reasoning, and quality of explanation
  • Collaborate with researchers to develop and refine benchmarks spanning undergraduate to Masters-level physics
  • Provide structured, actionable feedback that helps AI systems reason more like expert physicists

Who You Are

  • Currently pursuing or have completed a Masters degree in Physics, Applied Physics, or a closely related field — from University of Sydney, ANU, Monash, or equivalent
  • Strong physics reasoning and problem-solving skills across multiple advanced domains
  • Able to communicate complex concepts clearly and concisely in writing
  • Detail-oriented with a systematic approach to quality and accuracy
  • Self-motivated and comfortable working independently and asynchronously
  • No prior AI experience required

Nice to Have

  • Experience with data annotation, evaluation systems, or academic content creation
  • Familiarity with AI or machine learning concepts
  • Background in research, tutoring, or technical writing

Why Join Us

  • Work directly on frontier AI projects in partnership with leading AI research labs
  • Fully remote and async — work on your own schedule from anywhere
  • Freelance perks: high autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
  • Contribute to meaningful work that advances the state of AI in STEM
  • Potential for ongoing contract renewals and expanded project scope
