About The Role: We are looking to expand our team of expert consultants with 15 Senior Physics Experts for part‑time, fully‑remote work supporting frontier AI research. Projects start at $80–120 USD / hour, with top‑performing experts on our platform earning $150+ USD / hour. This Role Includes Designing expert‑level physics problems today's leading models can't solve. Evaluating and pressure‑testing leading AI models. This is not tutoring, teaching, or generic annotation work. About Aligned At Aligned, we partner with the world's leading AI labs to push the frontier of AI knowledge in fields like STEM, medicine, law, and finance.
