Physics Expert (Postdoc / Junior professor)

We are looking for Physics Expert (Postdoc / Junior professor) candidates for a project delivered through micro1.

What you'll do

  • 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.
  • Deliver structured feedback designed to support iterative enhancement of submitted work and project outcomes.

What you need

  • No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters.

Nice to have

  • an active record of independent research within a specialized subfield (e.g., High Energy/Mathematical Physics, Biophysics/Statistical Physics, Condensed Matter, AMO/Quantum Optics, Gravitation/Cosmology, Quantum Information, or Optical Materials).
  • Experience as a postdoctoral researcher, research fellow, junior/assistant professor, or senior research scientist.
  • Recent (last ~5 years) 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.
  • Reliable access to high-speed internet and a computer suitable for rigorous technical work.
