Research Physicist - Freelance AI Trainer

Opportunity Overview

This is a project-based role with a company that connects subject matter experts to AI work for major technology clients. The focus is on evaluating, testing, and helping improve AI systems. This is not a permanent employment role; participation is tied to individual projects.

Please send your CV in English and include your English proficiency level.

What You May Work On

• Create original optics problems that reflect authentic physics research scenarios.
• Build tasks that are sufficiently complex to require substantial computation and cannot be solved by hand within a practical timeframe of days or weeks.
• Develop questions that demand layered reasoning in areas such as mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics.
• Ground problem statements in genuine research challenges or real-world applications from optics and physics practice.
• Write problem prompts clearly and supply checked, correct solutions.

Ideal Background

• A degree in Physics, whether theoretical, experimental, or computational, or in a closely related field.
• At least 2 years of relevant professional experience, which may come from applied work, research, or teaching.
• Hands-on experience with numerical simulation approaches.
• The ability to design tasks that resemble actual physics research workflows.
• Creative problem-design skills across different branches of physics.
• Comfort with physics modelling and approximation methods.
• Strong written English skills at C1 level or above.

How the Process Works

The workflow is: apply, complete qualification step(s), join a project, carry out tasks, and receive payment.

Time Commitment

During active project periods, the expected workload is around 10 to 20 hours per week. This is only an estimate and not a fixed guarantee, and it applies only while a project is active.

Pay

Contributors on this project may earn the equivalent of up to $45 per hour, depending on experience level and work pace. Pay can differ across projects based on scope, difficulty, and the expertise required.

Additional Information

This opportunity is suited to physicists who are open to part-time, non-permanent project work.
