The role, as Handshake AI describes it
Opportunity Overview
Handshake is looking for experienced computational and theoretical 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 numerical simulation, scientific computing, or your physics subfield 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
Read the rest of the description (20 more paragraphs)
• 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
Ideal candidates meet all three of the following:
• Industry/research experience — first-author publications in a computational subfield or 2+ years of hands-on industry experience
• Degree — PhD in Physics, with a computational or theoretical focus
• Sub-domain depth — demonstrated expertise in one of the following areas:
• Numerical simulation, PDE/ODE solvers, and Monte Carlo methods
• HPC and scientific computing (NumPy/SciPy, C++/Fortran)
• A core subfield such as condensed matter, astrophysics, high-energy physics, or fluid dynamics
Candidates who meet at least 2 of the 3 qualifications above are also encouraged to apply.
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
