Physics Researcher for AI Model Training [Remote]

This position offers a unique opportunity to leverage your deep expertise in physics to influence the development of next-generation AI systems. As a Physics Research Expert (Solver), you will provide high-quality, real-world insights that shape how AI models learn, reason, and perform, making a significant impact in various domains such as finance, healthcare, and engineering.

• Contribute deep domain expertise in your specialized physics subfield, providing authentic, up-to-date insights for AI training initiatives.
• Formulate, solve, and document advanced mathematical physics problems using rigorous methodologies.
• Develop and validate computational models, simulations, and analytical solutions leveraging Python, SymPy, and Jupyter environments.
• Produce high-quality, publication-level written explanations and derivations with clear, structured reasoning.
• Clearly communicate complex concepts and solutions through both written and verbal exchanges with project coordinators and the technical AI team.
• Work independently to navigate and resolve challenging, novel research problems aligned with the assigned subfield.
• Leverage your experience to review, critique, and improve problem solutions, ensuring accuracy and clarity for AI training.

• PhD (or senior PhD student) in physics with active, ongoing research in one or more targeted subfields: High Energy/Mathematical Physics, Biophysics/Statistical Physics, Condensed Matter, AMO/Quantum Optics, Gravitation/Cosmology/Astrophysics, Quantum Information, or Optical properties of materials.
• 2, 5 representative publications (last 5 years) in the relevant subfield, with available arXiv/DOI links.
• Expertise in mathematical modeling, derivations, and system proofs at a publication-worthy standard.
• Proficient in LaTeX, Python, SymPy, and Jupyter (flag any skill gaps).
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, clarity, accuracy, and the ability to explain intricate concepts are essential.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently and execute research tasks with minimal supervision.
• Must be based in the US, UK, or Canada (rare exceptions for truly exceptional candidates).
