Physicist for AI Training [Remote]

Physics Expert (PhD / Postdoc) remote contractor role applying deep scientific knowledge and problem-solving skills to help train next-generation AI systems. No prior AI experience is required; domain expertise is what matters.

• Physics mastery.
• Written technical communication.
• Technical problem-solving depth.
• Mathematical and computational fluency.

• Solve advanced physics problems from your specialization, delivering rigorous, well-documented derivations and analyses.
• Produce technically precise, clearly written solutions, detailing assumptions, approximations, and final results using LaTeX mathematical notation.
• Use SymPy, Python, and Jupyter for symbolic or numerical verification and clear computational workflows where relevant.
• Identify and articulate subtleties in problem statements, including special cases, boundary conditions, and dimensional consistency.
• Flag ambiguities in project materials, proposing well-reasoned interpretations and clarifications as needed.
• Iterate on submitted solutions in response to reviewer feedback, ensuring corrections are cleanly integrated.
• Uphold rigorous standards in documentation and reproducibility consistent with professional research practice.

• PhD in physics or advanced-stage PhD candidacy, with active research experience in a relevant subfield.
• Research expertise in one or more of: high energy physics, mathematical physics, biophysics, statistical physics, condensed matter, including moiré systems, magnetism, PXP or Rydberg systems, AMO or quantum optics, gravitation, cosmology, astrophysics, quantum information, or optical properties of materials.
• 2–5 recent representative publications from the past ~5 years in your field, with accessible arXiv or DOI records.
• Proficiency with LaTeX for presenting mathematics, and with SymPy, Python, and Jupyter for computational work; willingness to indicate areas for further support if needed.
• Demonstrated excellence in written technical communication, with a track record of producing clear, precise, and well-argued scientific outputs.
• Strong analytical skills, able to isolate key physical principles and provide nuanced solutions to complex problems.

• Contractor role.
• Remote, worldwide location.
• Fully flexible schedule of 10–15+ hours per week, with work after hours or on weekends accommodated.
• Availability to engage consistently over an 8–10 week period, approximately 10 hours per week.

$100–$200 per hour.
