Physics Expert
Mercor
$70 – $100/hour · as listed
Mercor connects physics experts with AI research teams developing frontier models. As a Physics Expert, you'll evaluate AI-generated responses, assess physical reasoning, and provide judgment on complex physics problems that machine learning systems struggle to solve independently. Your expertise becomes a benchmark for training and refining these advanced models through AI data work.
This remote, part-time role suits physicists with intermediate-level knowledge who want flexible engagement in AI training and evaluation. You'll work on a project basis as assignments become available through the Mercor platform, with the option to take on work that fits your schedule. Compensation is $70–$100/hour based on the scope and complexity of each task.
From the listing: Mercor marketplace · part-time · 40h/week. The research teams behind the best-known AI models come to Mercor for physics judgment they can't generate on their own. Your standards and expertise become the rubric that frontier AI is graded against. This is a standing listing for physicists who want AI training and evaluation work, not a specific job opening. It stays open whether or not a matching project is running this week. New projects
