The work

You will help evaluate and improve AI training data by applying advanced physics knowledge to mathematical and theoretical problems. The work covers areas such as mathematical physics, many-body and condensed matter theory, statistical physics, quantum information, and theoretical physics.

  • Produce and validate rigorous solutions to advanced theoretical and mathematical physics problems.
  • Audit solutions from other experts and give clear, technically grounded feedback.
  • Adjudicate conflicting solutions by determining which is accurate under rigorous scientific standards.
  • Document methods, reasoning, and solutions clearly in LaTeX and other scholarly formats.
  • Work asynchronously with project leads and other experts to maintain quality and meet deliverables.
  • Help refine benchmark protocols and question sets for accurate, relevant physics evaluation.

Requirements

This is a remote, asynchronous contractor opportunity. Assignments may focus on solution writing, auditing, or adjudication based on your demonstrated expertise and practical experience.

  • Work arrangement: Remote, asynchronous, part-time contractor work.
  • English: Professional fluency in English is required.
  • Education and experience: A PhD or postdoctoral research background in physics, theoretical physics, quantum physics, or mathematical physics.
  • Subject expertise: Demonstrated expertise in at least one relevant subfield, such as mathematical physics, many-body theory, condensed matter, statistical physics, or quantum information.
  • Skills: Strong analytical and problem-solving ability, advanced physics problem-solving experience, and excellent written and verbal communication.
  • Technical requirement: Proficiency with LaTeX.
  • Work style: Ability to work independently and asynchronously in a distributed setting.
