• Write precise problem specifications and rigorous reference solutions.
• Develop research-level problems and benchmarks in your area of specialization.
• Collaborate with researchers to establish clear evaluation criteria.
• Provide structured feedback on the quality and reliability of physics reasoning.

Required Qualifications

• PhD in Physics, Astrophysics, Applied Physics, or a closely related field.
• Senior research experience as a faculty member, principal investigator, staff or senior scientist, or equivalent.
• Deep specialization in at least one physics domain, such as condensed matter, particle physics, astrophysics, cosmology, quantum physics, or computational physics.
• Strong peer-reviewed publication record.
• Hands-on experience using large language models and evaluating scientific reasoning.
• Excellent written communication and analytical skills.
• Must be based in the United States.

Preferred Qualifications

• Recognition through competitive research fellowships, awards, or similar achievements.

Compensation

• $90–$140 per hour.
• Remote hourly contract opportunity.
