Position: Applied Physics Benchmark Specialist
Type:Contract
Compensation:$61–$77/hour
Location:Remote
Commitment:10+ hours/week
Role Responsibilities
Author original physics questions that test deep conceptual understanding, not surface-level recall.
Ensure questions are unambiguous, self-contained, and precisely defined with all necessary information in the problem statement.
Rate each question's difficulty: Medium (intro undergraduate), Hard (advanced undergraduate), or Expert (post-graduate and above).
Provide 1 correct answer and 9 plausible but subtly incorrect alternatives that challenge expert-level solvers.
Write step-by-step Chain-of-Thought solutions with clear, concise intermediate steps in markdown format.
Supply 1–5 academic references per question from reputable sources (peer-reviewed journals, university repositories).
For verification tasks: flag issues with clarity, completeness, precision, or solvability and justify any edits made.
Qualifications
Must-Have
PhD or doctoral candidate in Physics, Applied Physics, Astrophysics, or a closely related field.
Master's degree considered for candidates with exceptional depth in a specific subdomain.
Strong command of graduate-level physics concepts and mathematical formalism.
Excellent written English and ability to express complex ideas clearly and concisely.
Preferred
Experience with rigorous academic problem design or physics olympiad writing is a strong plus.
