Physicist, Part-Time AI Physics Training - Remote (United States)

• $100–$200 per hour

• 100% remote

• Part-time

• About 10 hours a week, you choose when

Work on the cutting edge of AI, on your own schedule, and get paid for the physics expertise you already have.

The AI systems everyone is talking about are trained and tested by real physicists. The teams building them need physicists who can turn advanced problems into realistic challenges, judge how well an AI handles the reasoning, write the rigorous derivation a physicist would give, and explain exactly where the answer falls short. Your judgment becomes part of how the next generation of AI models handles technical subjects. This is that work, done remotely, around your current research or job.

What you’ll do

• Turn advanced physics problems into clear, rigorous worked solutions

• Lay out, in LaTeX, the assumptions and approximations behind a derivation, the reasoning between steps, and the final results

• Review solutions for dimensional consistency, boundary conditions and special cases, using SymPy, Python or Jupyter when relevant

• Keep submissions accurate and reproducible while responding to reviewer feedback and clarifying ambiguous problem statements with well-reasoned interpretations

Why this is worth your time

• Get paid $100–$200 an hour to build real AI skills, on top of your current work

• Work directly with frontier AI tools and see how they are built, tested and improved, experience most physicists will not have for years

• Build a career edge for what comes next: AI is reshaping physics, and the people who understand it from the inside will lead that change

• Fully remote, fully flexible, no minimum shift, no commute

Who this is for

• A PhD in physics, or postdoctoral research experience in physics, or advanced-stage PhD candidacy

• Clear technical writing, strong analytical ability and LaTeX proficiency

• Professional fluency in English and working familiarity with Python, Jupyter and SymPy

• No AI experience needed. You bring the expertise; we bring the training on the tools.

Pay and details

• $100–$200 per hour, paid hourly as an independent contractor

• About 10 hours a week, you choose when; fully remote, United States
