• Contribute to advancing physics research by guiding AI models to solve complex scientific problems, improve research outcomes, and support scientific discovery and practical applications.
• Select and solve problems across diverse areas of physics aligned with your expertise, providing detailed, accurate solutions and critically evaluating AI-generated responses.
• Consistently interpret, analyze, and execute tasks in accordance with established guidelines, technical requirements, and project instructions.

Qualifications

• Master’s or PhD in physics or a highly related field.
• English proficiency at CEFR C1 level or higher.

Requirements

• Demonstrated expertise in one or more subfields of physics, including but not limited to condensed matter physics, high-energy physics, nuclear physics, atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics, quantum computing and information, computational physics, mathematical physics, and interdisciplinary fields such as biophysics.
• Advanced expertise in physics, evidenced by multiple publications in reputable, peer-reviewed scientific journals, preferably including one or more first-author publications.
• Strong research skills and proficiency in navigating scientific literature, specialized databases, and diverse online information resources.
• Excellent communication, interpersonal, analytical, and organizational skills.
• Strong reading comprehension and critical-thinking skills, with the ability to exercise sound independent judgment when working with limited information or resources.
• A strong interest in and commitment to technological advancement, scientific innovation, and emerging technologies.
• Previous experience in AI tutoring, AI model evaluation, or related applications of artificial intelligence.
• Teaching or tutoring experience at the university or secondary education level, or equivalent professional instructional experience.
