Associate Professor (Physics)

Role Responsibilities

• Critically evaluate and review physics solutions, mathematical derivations, and theoretical arguments generated by researchers or AI platforms.
• Detect errors, unjustified steps, missing assumptions, dimensional inconsistencies, and weaknesses in logic or methodology.
• Delineate between substantive scientific issues and stylistic or cosmetic matters, providing technically precise written feedback.
• Articulate and document the reasoning behind any identified flaws, ensuring actionable guidance for improvement.
• Recognize when correct reasoning can be optimized, and offer suggestions to sharpen or clarify the argument.
• Utilize LaTeX, SymPy, Python, and Jupyter to independently verify or counter-check scientific claims as appropriate.

Requirements

• PhD in physics and an active record of independent research within a specialized subfield.
• Experience as a postdoctoral researcher, research fellow, junior/assistant professor, or senior research scientist.
• Recent representative publications in the relevant subfield, with arXiv or DOI links.
• Advanced proficiency with LaTeX, SymPy, Python, and Jupyter for theoretical modeling and computational validation.
• Demonstrated skill in reviewing the work of others through peer review, supervision, dissertation committees, or group seminars.
• Exceptional written communication skills with the ability to convey nuanced, constructive feedback with technical rigor.
