Physicist AI Benchmark Authoring and Verification

Develop rigorous academic physics assessments that help benchmark AI capabilities. This fully remote role involves either authoring original multiple-choice problems or verifying existing questions across advanced physics domains.

• Semiconductor Physics
• Nanoelectronics and Spintronics
• Photonics
• Quantum Optics and Ultrafast Physics
• Quantum Sensing and Metrology
• Plasma Physics and Fusion Energy
• Nonlinear Dynamics and Turbulence
• Geophysics and Reservoir Simulation

• Complete one of two task types: question authoring or question verification.
• For authoring assignments, create original, challenging multiple-choice questions in your physics specialty, assess their difficulty, and submit them for review.
• For verification assignments, evaluate pre-written questions for accuracy, clarity, rigor, completeness, precision, and solvability; revise them as needed and document the rationale for changes.
• Design questions that assess deep conceptual understanding rather than surface-level recall.
• Ensure every question is self-contained, unambiguous, and precisely defined, with all necessary information included in the problem statement.
• Classify question difficulty as Medium, introductory undergraduate;
  Hard, advanced undergraduate; or Expert, postgraduate and above.
• Provide one correct answer and nine plausible, subtly incorrect alternatives suitable for challenging expert-level solvers.
• Write step-by-step solutions with clear, concise intermediate reasoning in Markdown format.
• Include one to five academic references per question from reputable sources, such as peer-reviewed journals or university repositories.

• PhD or current doctoral candidacy in Physics, Applied Physics, Astrophysics, or a closely related field.
• A master''s degree may be considered for candidates with exceptional depth in a specific physics subdomain.
• Strong command of graduate-level physics concepts and mathematical formalism.
• Experience designing rigorous academic problems or writing physics olympiad questions is a strong advantage.
• Excellent written English and the ability to communicate complex ideas clearly and concisely.

• Remote, asynchronous hourly engagement.
• Expected commitment of at least 10 hours per week.

$61 to $77 per hour.
