Physics Tutor

Details

SpaceXAI’s mission is to create AI systems that can accurately understand the universe and aid humanity in its pursuit of knowledge. Our team is small, highly motivated, and focused on engineering excellence.

You will be instrumental in enhancing SpaceXAI’s cutting-edge AI technologies by providing high-quality input and labels using specialized software. You will collaborate closely with our technical team to support the training of new AI tasks, contributing to innovative initiatives. Your responsibilities include refining annotation tools and selecting complex problems from advanced physics fields to drive significant improvements in model performance. You will gather or provide data in text, voice, and video formats, including annotations, audio recordings, or video sessions.

This is a remote position. We prefer candidates available for full-time employment, but exceptional applicants seeking part-time opportunities will also be considered.

Responsibilities

• Use proprietary software applications to provide input/labels on defined projects.
• Support and ensure the delivery of high-quality curated data.
• Play a pivotal role in supporting and contributing to the training of new tasks, working closely with the technical staff to ensure the successful development and implementation of cutting-edge initiatives/technologies.
• Interact with the technical staff to help improve the design of efficient annotation tools.
• Solve problems that help drive innovation in physics by guiding AI models to enhance research in specialized areas, improving outcomes in scientific discovery and application.
• Choose problems from various fields across physics that align with your specialization, where you can confidently provide detailed solutions and evaluate model responses.
• Regularly interpret, analyze, and execute tasks based on given instructions.

Requirements

• Master’s or PhD in physics or a highly related field.
• Expertise in one or more subdomains of physics, including but not limited to: condensed matter physics, high energy physics, nuclear physics, atomic/molecular/optical physics, quantum computing and information, computational physics, mathematical physics, and interdisciplinary physics (such as biophysics).
• Proficiency in reading and writing in English (informal and professional).
• Strong ability to navigate various information resources, databases, and online resources.
• Outstanding communication, interpersonal, analytical, and organizational capabilities.
• Solid reading comprehension skills combined with the capacity to exercise autonomous judgment even when presented with limited data/material.
• Strong passion for and commitment to technological advancements and innovation.

Preferred Skills and Experience

• Advanced expertise in physics, demonstrated by multiple publications, preferably with one or more first-author papers, in reputable peer-reviewed journals.
• Previous AI Tutoring experience.
• Teaching experience (as a professor, teacher, or tutor).
• Experience in technical writing, journalism, or a professional writing setting.

Additional Expectations

• Tutor roles may be offered as full-time, part-time, or contractor positions, depending on role needs and candidate fit.
• For contractor positions, hours will vary widely based on project scope and contractor availability, with no fixed commitments required. On average, most projects may involve at least 10 hours per week to achieve deliverables effectively (not a fixed commitment).
• Tutor roles may be performed remotely from any location worldwide, subject to legal eligibility, time-zone compatibility, and role specific needs.
• US-based candidates: unable to hire in the states of Wyoming and Illinois at this time.
• Visa sponsorship is not available.
• If working from a personal device, your computer must be a Chromebook, Mac with MacOS 11.0 or later, or Windows 10 or later.

Compensation and Benefits

• US based candidates: $45/hour - $75/hour depending on factors including relevant experience, skills, education, geographic location, and qualifications.
• International candidates: information will be provided during the recruitment process.
• Benefits vary based on employment type, location, and jurisdiction. Benefits for eligible U.S. based positions include health insurance, 401(k) plan, and paid sick leave. Specific details are provided during the interview process.
