Physics Researcher (Remote · $100–$200/hr)

We are seeking PhD and Postdoctoral-level Physics Experts to support a high-impact project focused on training next-generation AI systems. You’ll solve advanced physics problems, develop rigorous scientific solutions, and help improve AI reasoning across complex scientific concepts.

No prior AI experience is required — your physics expertise is the primary qualification.

Key Responsibilities

• Solve advanced physics problems within your research specialization.
• Produce rigorous derivations and structured solutions using LaTeX.
• Document assumptions, approximations, reasoning, and final results clearly.
• Use Python, SymPy, and Jupyter for symbolic and numerical verification.
• Identify boundary conditions, limiting cases, special cases, and dimensional consistency.
• Review project materials, identify ambiguities, and provide well-reasoned interpretations.
• Revise solutions based on reviewer feedback while maintaining technical accuracy.
• Follow professional scientific documentation and reproducibility standards.

Required Qualifications

• PhD in Physics or advanced-stage PhD candidacy with active research experience.
• Research expertise in at least one advanced physics subfield.
• Strong mathematical and analytical problem-solving skills.
• Excellent technical and scientific writing abilities.
• Proficiency with LaTeX for scientific and mathematical writing.
• Working proficiency with Python, SymPy, and Jupyter.
• Ability to independently analyze complex physics problems and produce rigorous solutions.
• Strong attention to mathematical and physical consistency.

Preferred Qualifications

• Active or recent research experience in High Energy Physics, Mathematical Physics, Biophysics, Statistical Physics, or Condensed Matter Physics.
• Strong computational or numerical research experience.

Compensation

• Competitive compensation of $100–$200/hour.
• Approximately 10–15+ hours/week.
• Project duration of approximately 8–10 weeks.
• Fully remote with a flexible schedule, including evenings or weekends.
