Physics research scientist

$40 - $125 per hour
Temporary

DataAnnotation

Location: Remote · Type: Independent contractor · Hours: Flexible hours · Payouts: Models can recite physics and still get it wrong: dimensional errors, misapplied approximations, and derivations that skip the step where the physics actually happens.

As a Physicist you'll evaluate AI reasoning across mechanics, E&M, quantum, and thermodynamics, and write solutions with the care of a good problem-set grader.

Craft problems that expose weak physical reasoning, from undergraduate mechanics to graduate-level theory.

Write the gold-standard solution when the model falls short, showing the physics clearly at every step.

Physicist, Research Scientist.

Graduate-level physics background or equivalent research experience.

Comfort working problems across at least two core areas of physics.

Clear written English: your explanations are the training signal.

No degree required. some make it their full-time income.

Flexible, remote, and always project-available.

Apply, pass the qualification assessment, then pick up paid projects whenever you want and get paid weekly.
