About this role
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 start on short notice, so instead of posting and pulling a listing each time, we keep one open per field and draw from it when one begins. What the work looks like We match physicists in the network to projects like: Writing a problem from your own area, with the system, the assumptions, and the regime, plus the reference answer a model's attempt gets graded against Grading model-written derivations and numerical work: whether the approximation is valid in the regime claimed, whether the…
