Research Physics Expert (Train AI Models Part Time!)

Skills

• Expertise in High Energy Physics, Mathematical Physics, Biophysics, Statistical Physics, Condensed Matter, AMO, Gravitation, Cosmology, Astrophysics, Quantum Information, Optical Properties, Magnetic Materials, and Measurements in QM.
• Familiarity with at least two canonical methods in the relevant subfield, demonstrated through publications.
• Proficiency in LaTeX, Python, Jupyter, and SymPy.
• Strong written English skills (B2/C1/C2 level).

Qualifications

• Solver:
• PhD or postdoc in the relevant subfield (senior PhD student minimum)
• 3-5 representative publications (arXiv ID or DOI), ideally within the last ~5 years and in the target subfield
• Auditor:
• Postdoc or junior professor in the relevant subfield (PhD minimum)
• 3-5 representative publications (arXiv ID or DOI), ideally within the last ~5 years and in the target subfield
• Adjudicator:
• Full professor or industry research PI in the relevant subfield (senior postdoc or junior professor minimum)
• 3-5 representative publications (arXiv ID or DOI), ideally within the last ~5 years and in the target subfield

Responsibilities

• Solve research-level physics challenges end-to-end with verifiable derivations, code, and peer-reviewed references.
• Decompose challenges into standalone checkpoint sub-problems that require genuine physical reasoning.
• Author Python answer templates with auto-grading functions for symbolic or numerical answers.
• Audit submitted solutions for correctness, scope, and method soundness; deliver actionable feedback across iterations.
• Adjudicate between parallel solver attempts and decide which solution becomes the golden reference.
• Document chain-of-thought reasoning, error tolerances, equivalent symbolic forms, and verification test cases.
