Physicist, PhD (Contract)
Shape the data that powers frontier AI
Labelbox • Remote (United States preferred)
Engagement | Hourly, at-will contractor
Schedule | Fully remote & asynchronous (min. 15 hrs/week)
Pay Range (US) | $25 – $100 per hour
StartDate | Rolling — staffed as projects launch
What You'll Do
- Data annotation: Accurately label and categorize physics problems, concepts, diagrams, experiments, and other relevant data
- Concept mapping: Connect key physics principles and establish relationships between different topics (e.g., mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics) to help AI models grasp the structure of the subject
- Solution review: Analyze and verify AI-generated solutions to physics problems, identifying errors and offering clear feedback to improve model performance
- Content development: Help create well-rounded training datasets that span a variety of physics topics and difficulty levels
You're a Great Fit If
- You hold a PhD in physics (or a closely related field), with demonstrated expertise in research, teaching, or advanced problem-solving
- You have experience developing or critically reviewing sophisticated scientific, technical, or educational content—such as research publications, curriculum design, or complex simulations
- You excel at communicating advanced physical concepts with clarity, and enjoy translating abstract theory into practical application
- Bonus: You have experience with data labeling, RLHF, or other AI training or model evaluation projects
About the Role
- Flexible workload — work from anywhere, on your own schedule
- High impact — your craft directly improves models used by top AI labs & Fortune 500 teams
- Clear ownership — know exactly what success looks like and have autonomy to deliver
- Growth potential — consistent high performers spearhead new programs and mentor incoming SMEs
Interview Process
- Complete a screening with Zara, our AI interviewer in English, to learn more about your background and experience.
- Domain-specific Zara interview to assess your understanding of advanced physics principles, your ability to analyze complex processes, and your skill in applying theoretical frameworks to real-world scenarios.
