Medical Physics jobs

DataAnnotation is looking for an experienced Plasma Physics Researcher - AI Trainer to design physics problems that today's leading AI models still get wrong. Models routinely produce derivations that break conservation laws and reach results no working physicist would accept. You bring the subject knowledge to catch these errors, and the tooling to prove them.

This is a new and growing area for our company, focused on teaching AI to reason correctly rather than plausibly. The work combines deep physics knowledge with strong coding skills: you design, test, and validate complex tasks yourself. Your task and your solution become the ground truth a model is scored against, so accuracy is the entire job.

Advantages of contracting with us:

• You will be able to choose which projects you want to work on and when.
• You work on your own schedule, on your own computer, from the comfort of your own home.
• Projects are paid hourly up to $40-$125 USD per hour, with bonuses on high-quality work.

Responsibilities:

• Design complex physics tasks in your area of expertise.
• Define what a correct answer looks like and the standard a model has to meet.
• Test and validate the task yourself before you submit it.
• Write a step-by-step solution another researcher could reproduce.
• Design tasks a model cannot solve by replaying a known result, and flag where its physical reasoning breaks: dimensional and sign errors, invalid approximations, violated conservation laws, unphysical results.
• Work across computational physics, simulation, numerical methods, data analysis, and theoretical modeling.

Qualifications:

• Fluency in English (native or bilingual level).
• An active research background in physics or a closely related field: advanced graduate student, postdoc, academic researcher, or industry practitioner.
• Strong coding skills. You write Python and work comfortably at a terminal as part of your research, not as a side interest.
• Familiarity with reproducible or containerized environments such as Docker is a plus.
