Research Physicist - Freelance AI Trainer

What this opportunity involves

While each project involves unique tasks, contributors may:

• Design original optics problems that simulate real physics research workflows;
• Ensure problems are computationally intensive and cannot be solved manually within reasonable time frames (days/weeks);
• Develop problems requiring non-trivial reasoning chains in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
• Base problems on real research challenges or practical applications from optics & physics practice;
• Document problem statements clearly and provide verified correct answers.

This opportunity is a good fit for physicians open to part-time, non-permanent projects. Ideally, contributors will have:

• Degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or related fields;
• 2+ years of professional experience: applied, research, or teaching experience is applicable;
• Experience with numerical simulation methods;
• Ability to design problems that mirror real physics research workflows;
• Creative thinking in problem design across diverse physics areas;
• Familiarity with physics modeling and approximation techniques;
• Strong written English (C1+).
