AI Trainer (Physical Sciences)
micro1
Verified listingOverview
micro1 is building AI systems and needs experts to improve them. You'll create challenging tasks, evaluate AI-generated solutions in physical sciences, and identify where models fail—working entirely remotely on a flexible schedule.
What You’ll Do
- Create realistic computational physical-science tasks designed to challenge advanced AI models
- Develop task instructions, reproducible environments, reference solutions, and evaluation criteria
- Evaluate model-generated calculations, code, simulations, and technical deliverables for correctness
- Identify invalid assumptions, numerical errors, physically impossible results, and reproducibility failures
Requirements
- Prior paid experience training, evaluating, benchmarking, or improving AI systems on scientific or technical tasks
- Strong practical proficiency with Python
- Deep expertise in at least one physical-science specialization (physics, astronomy, materials science, chemistry, computational physics, etc.)
- Hands-on experience using computational methods for modeling, simulation, numerical analysis, or reproducible research
- Public evidence of expertise (publications, code repositories, research profiles, open-source contributions)
Who Should Apply
Apply if you have a research background in physical sciences with published or open-source computational work, plus concrete experience in AI training or evaluation—you'll thrive evaluating technical correctness at scale. This will frustrate you if you prefer building your own systems rather than judging others', or if you need steady predictable hours; output-based pay and variable task availability are the core model here.
Salary Insight
The $60–$120/hr range is wide because it reflects different expertise levels and task complexity. Payment is per accepted task, not per hour worked, so actual earnings depend on your task velocity and approval rate. Research this by checking micro1's track record on similar platforms; clarify in your application how they calculate task approval and payment timing.

Application Tip
Lead with your most substantial public proof: a peer-reviewed publication or a well-documented, non-trivial code repository that demonstrates both computational depth and the ability to explain your work clearly. Hiring managers will scan for this first. Then explicitly name your AI-training experience (even if it was freelance or platform-based, not a traditional job title)—the posting filters hard on this. Brief, concrete evidence beats a generic CV.
