Physics Assessment Specialist

This position offers a unique opportunity for expert physicists to contribute to an AI research initiative by authoring and reviewing high-quality academic assessment content. You will create and verify rigorous multiple-choice questions across core physics domains, evaluate solution quality, and help establish gold-standard benchmarks that advance AI capabilities.

• Author original physics questions that test deep conceptual understanding, avoiding surface-level recall.
• Ensure questions are unambiguous, self-contained, and precisely defined, with all necessary information included in the problem statement.
• Rate each question''s difficulty as 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 markdown format.
• Supply 1–5 academic references per question from reputable sources, such as peer-reviewed journals or university repositories.
• For verification tasks, flag issues with clarity, completeness, precision, or solvability and justify any edits made.

The role encompasses various physics domains, including Theoretical Classical Mechanics, Optics & Acoustics, Electromagnetism & Photonics, Statistical Mechanics & Thermodynamics, Astrophysics & Cosmology, Particle & Nuclear Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, Relativity, and Solid State & Atomic Physics.

• 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 the ability to express complex ideas clearly and concisely.

Expected commitment is 10+ hours per week, with fully remote and asynchronous work arrangements.

Hourly compensation ranges from $35 to $75.
