Advanced Physics Expert

Overview:

We are looking for an Advanced Physics Expert with expertise in physics theory and problem-solving to develop and refine high-quality reasoning questions that evaluate AI models. Your knowledge in physics will ensure the accuracy, rigor, and instructional quality of these test items.

Job Details:

• Question Development: Create well-structured, undergraduate-level physics questions that test reasoning, problem-solving, and conceptual understanding.

• Solution Validation: Solve and verify answers for accuracy and completeness, ensuring questions require logical reasoning rather than rote computation.

• Difficulty Scaling: Categorize questions by difficulty (Easy, Medium, Hard) and refine them to balance complexity and engagement.

• Real-World Application: Design questions that reflect real-world physics scenarios and avoid trivial or overly theoretical prompts.

• Quality Assurance: Ensure all questions align with physics principles, avoiding ambiguity, factual errors, or unrealistic assumptions.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Master’s degree or PhD in Physics or a related discipline.

• 2+ years of experience in teaching, research, or applied physics.

• Familiarity with undergraduate-level physics topics including mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics.

• Strong writing and critical thinking skills.

• Ability to work independently and meet deadlines.

Application & Onboarding Process:

• You will take a 5-minute AI interview to assess your problem-creation skills.

• If selected, you will be invited to work on the project.

• Important: We will only be considering candidates who take the vetting quiz.
