Physics PhD - Drive the Next Generation of AI with Your Expertise

Location: Remote | Type: Contract | Hours: Up to 40 hrs possible

Talex.ai is building the expert workforce layer for the AI future — connecting top domain professionals with frontier AI teams to deliver high-quality, human-aligned data at scale. We combine a talent marketplace, smart task routing, and agent-powered infrastructure to improve how AI systems learn and evolve.

We’re not automating humans. We’re empowering experts. At Talex.ai, your physics expertise helps AI systems reason, solve complex problems, and understand the world with scientific precision.

We are seeking recent Physics PhDs or early-career researchers to contribute to groundbreaking AI projects. You will design and develop challenging physics problems that train state-of-the-art large language models. This role offers a unique opportunity to apply your research expertise to cutting-edge AI applications and directly influence model reasoning in the physical sciences.

• Problem Development: Create high-quality, complex physics problems that test AI reasoning and problem-solving.
• Solution Verification: Ensure every problem and solution is accurate, logically sound, and conceptually rigorous.
• Difficulty Scaling: Categorize and refine problems across multiple complexity levels to maintain engagement and challenge.
• Applied Scenarios: Design questions that reflect real-world physics applications, not just theoretical exercises.
• Quality Assurance: Review AI-generated outputs for correctness, clarity, and consistency with physics principles.

• PhD in Physics from a top-tier university (recent graduates welcome).
• Strong analytical, logical reasoning, and problem-creation skills.
• Exceptional attention to detail and ability to work independently.
• Excellent written and verbal communication in English.
• Comfortable working asynchronously in a fully remote environment.

Bonus Points If You:

• Have experience creating educational or competition-level physics problems.
• Have prior involvement in AI/ML projects or scientific data annotation.

• Immediate impact: Shape AI systems from day one with your physics expertise.
• Global community: Collaborate asynchronously with top-tier PhDs and domain experts worldwide.
• Flexible schedule: Work remotely, 10–20 hrs/week (up to 40 hrs), on your own timetable.
• Professional growth: Gain hands-on experience at the frontier of AI while building your research profile.
• Empowerment over automation: Your skills aren’t being replaced — they are defining the next generation of AI.
