We are looking for a Physics Expert to join our team on a contract basis. This remote position allows for a commitment of 10-40 hours per week and offers a competitive compensation of $80 - $160 per hour.

The Role

You will be responsible for adjudicating and rendering expert judgment on contested physics arguments, comparing alternative approaches, and identifying criteria for evaluating the robustness of competing work. You will also draft written evaluations for review by senior physicists and utilize technical tools such as LaTeX, SymPy, Python, and Jupyter.

Responsibilities

• Adjudicate and render expert judgment on contested or competing physics arguments, solutions, or interpretations.
• Compare alternative approaches to the same problem, detailing superiority under specific assumptions and regimes.
• Identify and articulate meta-level criteria for evaluating robustness and validity of competing physics work.
• Provide authoritative assessments while acknowledging uncertainties.
• Draft defensible written evaluations suitable for review by fellow senior physicists.
• Leverage technical tools such as LaTeX, SymPy, Python, and Jupyter to verify or contrast technical claims.

Requirements

• PhD in Physics with strong relevant experience in the domain.
• Current or former Associate Professor, Full Professor, Chair Professor, or Principal Investigator/Group Leader.
• Ongoing research activity in areas like High Energy Physics, Mathematical Physics, or Quantum Information.
• 3-5 recent representative publications in your target subfield with arXiv or DOI references.
• Prior experience supervising PhD students or postdocs, or equivalent leadership in industry research settings.
• Proficiency with LaTeX, SymPy, Python, and Jupyter.
