Physics Assessment Specialist

We are seeking expert physicists to author and review high-quality academic assessment content for an AI research initiative. Workers will write and verify multiple-choice questions across physics domains, evaluate solution quality, and help establish benchmarks for advancing AI capabilities.

Task Types:

• Question Authoring: Create original, challenging multiple-choice questions in physics expertise areas, rate difficulty, submit for review
• Question Verification: Review pre-written questions for accuracy and clarity, edit as needed, rate difficulty, document changes

Physics Domains Covered: Theoretical Classical Mechanics, Optics & Acoustics, Electromagnetism & Photonics, Statistical Mechanics & Thermodynamics, Astrophysics & Cosmology, Particle & Nuclear Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, Relativity, Solid State & Atomic Physics.

Key Responsibilities:

• Author questions testing deep conceptual understanding, not surface-level recall
• Ensure questions are unambiguous and self-contained with all necessary information in problem statements
• Rate difficulty as Medium (intro undergraduate), Hard (advanced undergraduate), or Expert (post-graduate+)
• Provide 1 correct answer and 9 plausible but subtly incorrect alternatives that challenge expert-level solvers
• Write step-by-step Chain-of-Thought solutions in markdown format
• Supply 1-5 academic references per question from peer-reviewed sources
• Flag clarity, completeness, precision, or solvability issues in verification tasks

Ideal Qualifications:

• PhD or doctoral candidate in Physics or closely related field
• Master's degree acceptable with exceptional subdomain expertise
• Graduate-level physics concepts and mathematical formalism knowledge
• Academic problem design or physics olympiad experience preferred
• Excellent written English

Hourly Rate: $35-$75 USD

Commitment: 10+ hours weekly

Work Arrangement: Fully remote, asynchronous

Location Requirement: US-based
