About the role

Handshake is seeking Physics PhDs to support AI research through flexible, hourly contract work. This is not a traditional academic or full-time role. You’ll use your advanced physics training to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI better understand physical reasoning, mathematical modeling, theoretical analysis, and technical problem-solving.

This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity that can be done alongside research, teaching, postdoctoral work, or industry employment.
