Physicist
$40-90 ? Estimated range. Actual pay varies by experience, location, and task type.
Physics experts help AI understand the laws of nature. These roles focus on classical mechanics, quantum theory, thermodynamics, and electromagnetism. You will evaluate whether AI-generated physics explanations are correct, identify hallucinations, and assess problem-solving approaches. Requires deep physics knowledgeโadvanced degree preferred. Pay: $50-$110/hr.

Physics evaluation requires you to assess AI reasoning across classical mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, and relativity. Tasks present physics problems and ask whether the AI's solution approach is correct, whether the right formulas are applied, and whether dimensional analysis holds. Quantum mechanics tasks are particularly common and challengingโAI frequently makes subtle errors in wave function normalization, operator commutation, and perturbation theory. Astrophysics and cosmology questions appear in some task pools. PhD or advanced research experience is the norm for high-paying physics tasks. You'll need to explain your corrections clearly in writing, making communication skills as important as technical depth.
Master's or PhD strongly preferred. Rates: Master's $60-85/hr, PhD $80-110/hr. Some roles accept Bachelor's + 5+ years relevant work experience at lower rates ($50-70/hr).
Quantum mechanics, classical mechanics, and thermodynamics are highest-volume. Astrophysics, electromagnetism, and statistical mechanics also common. Rare expertise (quantum field theory, plasma physics) commands premium rates ($100-110/hr).
Yes, many tasks require evaluating mathematical physics. You'll assess differential equations, Lagrangian/Hamiltonian formalism, and problem-solving approaches. Strong math skills essential.
Yes. These are contract gigs, not competing roles. Verify your institution allows outside work, but typically permitted for academics. Part-time work fits around research schedules.
