The work
The partner lists this position as Mathematics Expert, but its supplied description discusses physics. The duties and qualifications below come from that conflicting description. The subject-specific scope is not confirmed; check the partner listing before applying.
You will help evaluate large language models by creating difficult physics problems and writing accurate, detailed solutions. Your work will support benchmark development from early undergraduate topics through PhD-level physics.
You will also review model responses, identify weaknesses in complex reasoning, and provide annotations that help improve evaluation quality.
- Design challenging physics problems that test advanced reasoning.
- Solve problems accurately and write clear, step-by-step solutions for gold-standard data.
- Create new scenarios that reveal weaknesses in multi-step reasoning.
- Work with LLM researchers to align tasks with evaluation goals.
- Help build physics evaluation benchmarks across several curriculum levels.
- Give constructive feedback and detailed annotations on model outputs.
What it pays and takes
This is a remote contractor engagement for 12 weeks. The role is open worldwide, and you must be comfortable working in English.
The posting does not provide a pay rate. Prior AI evaluation or annotation experience is useful but not required.
- Engagement: 12-week remote contract.
- Time: At least 4 hours per day and up to 40 hours per week; the listed commitment is 20+ hours weekly.

About AI training work
AI training is the human work behind systems that generate and understand text, images, code, and other content. People create examples, review model responses, and explain what a strong answer should look like, so deep subject knowledge is valuable.
