About the Role
We are looking for specialized physicists to create and assess top-tier academic examination materials for an artificial intelligence research project. You will develop and validate complex multiple-choice inquiries spanning diverse physics fields. By assessing the caliber of solutions and setting academic standards, your contributions will be essential in building high-quality datasets that improve how artificial intelligence models perform scientific reasoning. Your duties will involve either creating or verifying content. If you are in the authoring track, you will generate unique and difficult problems within your field, assign difficulty levels, and submit them for evaluation. If you are in the verification track, you will check existing material for precision, logic, and scientific accuracy, making revisions and explaining your reasoning to ensure the content meets high standards. The project encompasses advanced subject matter, such as nanoelectronics, quantum optics, nonlinear dynamics, plasma physics, and semiconductor physics.

- You must exhibit high proficiency in graduate-level physics concepts and related mathematical methods.
- We favor individuals with a background in designing academic problems or crafting physics olympiad material.
- You are required to possess superior English writing capabilities and the capacity to articulate intricate scientific theories with clarity and brevity.
Responsibilities
- You will generate unique physics problems that demand profound conceptual mastery instead of simple memorization.
- Every question must be distinct, self-sufficient, and clearly articulated, including all data required for resolution within the text.
- You are expected to provide one accurate answer and nine distractors that appear reasonable to expert-level participants.
- You must produce detailed markdown-formatted chain-of-thought solutions for every item.
- For every question, you must include one to five citations from recognized, peer-reviewed academic materials.
- You are required to categorize the difficulty of each item as medium, hard, or expert.
- During verification assignments, you must identify problems with clarity or comprehensiveness and provide a written justification for any edits performed.

- You are required to contribute a minimum of 10 hours per week.
