01 · The role

What you would do

  • Write problems, from undergraduate mechanics to graduate theory, that expose weak physical reasoning

  • Write a complete model solution when the model falls short

02 · Requirements

What they ask for

  • Graduate-level physics training or equivalent research experience (the listing needs no degree)
  • Comfort solving problems in at least two core areas of physics
  • Fluent written English
  • Residence in an accepted country, reportedly the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia or New Zealand
  • A pass on DataAnnotation's assessments, including the one-attempt Starter Assessment

Helpful, not required

  • A master's degree or PhD in physics, which DataAnnotation's FAQ cites for STEM projects
  • Physics
  • Problem solving
  • Mechanics
  • Quantum mechanics

03 · Eligibility

Who can apply

Remote. The listing names no countries. DataAnnotation's sign-up reportedly accepts applicants only from the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.

Not in Africa

As far as the listing and DataAnnotation's country rules show, this role is not open to people living in Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, South Africa or Egypt. DataAnnotation in Africa

Apply from where you live, as yourself. Using a VPN or someone else's identity to get around a country rule breaks these platforms' terms, and it is the quickest way to lose an account and any unpaid earnings.

About this listing

We last confirmed this opening on Nov 2, 2026. Rates and hours come from the listing unless the note beside the rate says otherwise. Where the listing names no countries, the Africa status is our reading of it and of what is known of DataAnnotation's country rules, set out on its profile, and never marks a role more open than they show. The listing itself has the final word.
