How your physics expertise shapes more reliable AI

Frontier AI still struggles with problems that require deep scientific reasoning. Your expertise helps AI teams identify where models fail, create better training data, and measure whether new models are actually improving. Work alongside other experts on projects where rigor, accuracy, and sound judgment matter.

What kinds of physics expertise are we looking for?

Theoretical & Mathematical Physics

Bring expertise in areas such as classical mechanics, electrodynamics, and formal derivations. You may carry a rigorous argument through many steps, or identify where a derivation quietly loses precision.

Applied & Engineering Physics

Draw on experience with real-world systems, measurement, and experimental design. You may ground a problem in how physics actually behaves in a lab or in the field, not just on a chalkboard.

Quantum Physics & Quantum Information

Apply knowledge of quantum mechanics, quantum computing, or information theory. You may design problems in a fast-growing area where frontier models still struggle with subtle reasoning.

Astrophysics & Cosmology

Use a background in stellar dynamics, general relativity, or large-scale structure. You may design specialized problems that demand deep domain-specific intuition, or review a peer's reasoning for subtle errors.

What the work actually
looks like

01

Write a graduate-level, multi-step physics problem from scratch.

02

Provide a precise, fully worked solution.

03

Design it so an AI model has to genuinely reason through the physics, not recall a memorized derivation.

Astrophysics & cosmology

Other tasks ask you to review a peer's problem or a model's solution path, catching subtle scientific errors and judging whether a more rigorous approach exists.

Graduate-level by design

Every task is calibrated so that a graduate-level expert can solve it confidently, but so that it genuinely challenges — and often stumps — today's most advanced AI reasoning models.

Expert judgment over shortcuts

That means multi-step derivations over rote recall, scientific precision over shortcuts, and real domain judgment over textbook plug-and-chug. If you're the kind of physicist who gets bored by easy problems, this is closer to the ceiling of what a task can ask of you.

Why Snorkel AI

Do work that actually matters

Your scientific reasoning directly shapes how frontier AI models handle rigorous physics problems — not busywork that gets thrown away.
RL Training Eval icon

No AI experience
required

What matters is deep expertise in physics. We'll never ask you to learn a new field to qualify.
