We are looking for Applied Physics Benchmark Specialist candidates for a project delivered through the hiring partner.
What you'll do
- Create original, challenging multiple-choice questions in your area of physics expertise, rate their difficulty, and submit them for review.
- Review pre-written questions for accuracy, clarity, and rigor. Edit where needed, rate difficulty, and document any changes made.
- Author original physics questions that test deep conceptual understanding, not surface-level recall
- Ensure questions are unambiguous, self-contained, and precisely defined — all necessary information must be in the problem statement
- Rate each question's difficulty: Medium (intro undergraduate), Hard (advanced undergraduate), or Expert (post-graduate and above)
- Provide 1 correct answer and 9 plausible but subtly incorrect alternatives that challenge expert-level solvers
- Write step-by-step Chain-of-Thought solutions with clear, concise intermediate steps in markdown format
- Supply 1–5 academic references per question from reputable sources (peer-reviewed journals, university repositories)
- For verification tasks: flag issues with clarity, completeness, precision, or solvability and justify any edits made
What you need
- Strong command of graduate-level physics concepts and mathematical formalism
Nice to have
- Experience with rigorous academic problem design or physics olympiad writing
