Physics Expert (India)

Opportunity Overview
Handshake is looking for experienced physicists to support AI research through flexible, part-time contract work. This is not a traditional job — you'll draw on your hands-on experience in computational, physical, or theoretical physics to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI reason like a practicing physicist.
This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity you can take on alongside your current role.
What You'll Do

• Use your domain expertise to create expert-level physics problems and scenarios grounded in real simulation, modeling, and computational workflows

• Review and evaluate AI-generated responses for technical accuracy, numerical rigor, and alignment with how the work is actually done

• Provide structured written feedback to help improve AI model performance

• Complete tasks at your own pace with no set schedule or minimum hour requirement

Qualifications

• Degree — Master's or PhD in Physics or any related field. An MS paired with industry experience also qualifies

Additional qualifications (not required, but strengthen your application)

• Proficiency running large-scale simulations on HPC clusters across multiple scientific computing environments

• Experience with lattice methods or other specialized techniques within your subfield

Required for all applicants

• Must have Indian work authorization

• Strong written communication and attention to detail

• Ability to explain complex physics concepts clearly

• Ability to work independently in a remote, asynchronous environment
