Physics Researcher for AI Model Training

Join a dynamic opportunity to shape the future of AI by leveraging your expertise in physics. As a Physics Research Expert (Solver), you will contribute to the training of next-generation AI systems, providing essential insights that influence how models learn, reason, and perform. Your domain knowledge is crucial, and no prior experience in AI is necessary.

• Provide deep domain expertise in your specialized physics subfield, offering 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 using Python, SymPy, and Jupyter environments.
• Produce high-quality, publication-level written explanations and derivations with clear, structured reasoning.
• Communicate complex concepts and solutions effectively through written and verbal exchanges with project coordinators and the technical AI team.
• Work independently to navigate and resolve challenging, novel research problems aligned with your assigned subfield.
• 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 targeted subfields such as 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 (from the 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; please flag any skill gaps.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with an emphasis on clarity and accuracy in explaining intricate concepts.
• 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).

• Experience in AI training or interdisciplinary computational research projects.
• Recognition as a thought leader, contributor, or reviewer in your physics subfield.
