Role Overview: We are seeking expert physicists to author and review high-quality academic assessment content for an AI research initiative. You will write and verify rigorous multiple-choice questions across core physics domains, evaluate solution quality, and help establish gold-standard benchmarks used to advance AI capabilities. You will be assigned one of two task types: Question Authoring — Create original, challenging multiple-choice questions in your area of physics expertise, rate their difficulty, and submit them for review. Question Verification — Review pre-written questions for accuracy, clarity, and rigor. Edit where needed, rate difficulty, and document any changes made. Physics Domains Covered Semiconductor Physics, Nanoelectronics & Spintronics, Photonics, Quantum Optics & Ultrafast, Quantum Sensing & Metrology, Plasma Physics & Fusion Energy, Nonlinear Dynamics & Turbulence, Geophysics & Reservoir Simulation.
Key Responsibilities: Author original physics questions that test deep conceptual understanding, not surface-level recall Ensure questions are unambiguous, self-contained, and precisely defined — all necessary information must be in the problem statement Rate each question's difficulty: Medium (intro undergraduate), Hard (advanced undergraduate), or Expert (post-graduate and above) Provide 1 correct answer and 9 plausible but subtly incorrect alternatives that challenge expert-level solvers Write step-by-step Chain-of-Thought solutions with clear, concise intermediate steps in markdown format Supply 1–5 academic references per question from reputable sources (peer-reviewed journals, university repositories) For verification tasks: flag issues with clarity, completeness, precision, or solvability and justify any edits made
Ideal Qualifications: PhD or doctoral candidate in Physics, Applied Physics, Astrophysics, or a closely related field Master's degree considered for candidates with exceptional depth in a specific subdomain Strong command of graduate-level physics concepts and mathematical formalism Experience with rigorous academic problem design or physics olympiad writing is a strong plus Excellent written English and ability to express complex ideas clearly and concisely
More About the Opportunity: Expected commitment: 10+ hours/week Asynchronous, fully remote work
