About the Role
We are hiring US-based academic physicists to contribute to the curation and evaluation of high-quality physics data for frontier AI models and research laboratories. This is the Senior Reviewer track of the project. You will review complex physics problems and AI-generated solutions, resolve disagreements among reviewers, contribute to evaluation frameworks, and serve as a subject-matter advisor to client teams assessing AI model outputs. This opportunity is designed for physics faculty and experienced researchers who want to apply their academic expertise to rigorous AI evaluation, scientific reasoning, and the development of reliable AI training infrastructure.
What You'll Do
- Conduct senior-level reviews of complex or ambiguous physics problems and AI-generated solutions.
- Evaluate answers for scientific accuracy, logical consistency, mathematical correctness, clarity, and adherence to instructions.
- Verify derivations, assumptions, calculations, units, notation, boundary conditions, and final conclusions.
- Identify factual errors, unsupported assumptions, invalid reasoning, and inconsistencies in model-generated content.
- Facilitate the structured resolution of disagreements among physics reviewers.
- Develop and refine evaluation rubrics, review guidelines, and quality standards.
- Provide expert advisory support to client teams reviewing AI model performance.
- Write technically rigorous, publication-quality explanations and reviewer feedback.
You're a Good Fit If You
- Required skills: Physics Simulation
- PhD in Physics, Applied Physics, or a closely related discipline from an accredited institution.
- Faculty appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor or above at an accredited US university or academic institution.
- At least three years of postdoctoral, faculty, or equivalent professional research experience.
- Active involvement in physics research, teaching, or academic supervision.
- Strong command of mathematical reasoning and advanced physics concepts.
- Demonstrated publication record in peer-reviewed physics or interdisciplinary scientific journals.
- Experience teaching undergraduate or graduate-level physics courses.
- Strong written communication skills and the ability to explain complex scientific reasoning clearly.
