Job Summary

micro1 is seeking established Physics Experts—including Professors and Principal Investigators—to support AI Training and evaluation projects by providing high-level scientific judgment, reviewing advanced research-level physics content, and evaluating competing technical arguments. In this role, you will apply your expertise to help improve next-generation AI systems by assessing complex scientific reasoning, guiding evaluation standards, and contributing authoritative insights across advanced physics disciplines.

This is an hourly-paid contract opportunity, not a traditional academic or research position. Contributors will work on project-based AI training and evaluation tasks designed to improve how AI systems understand, compare, and reason about advanced physics, mathematical derivations, and research-level scientific arguments.

No prior AI experience is required. What matters most is recognized scientific expertise, research leadership, and the ability to communicate complex physics concepts with clarity, rigor, and sound judgment.

Key Responsibilities

Contribute to AI training, benchmarking, and evaluation projects involving advanced physics and scientific reasoning.
Adjudicate competing physics arguments, solutions, and interpretations within your area of expertise.
Compare alternative solution approaches, identifying their strengths, limitations, assumptions, and applicable regimes.
Define high-level evaluation criteria for assessing scientific rigor, including assumptions, approximations, and methodological robustness.
Provide authoritative, evidence-based assessments while appropriately acknowledging uncertainty and unresolved scientific questions.
Produce clear, defensible written evaluations suitable for review by senior physicists and research experts.
Utilize LaTeX, Python, SymPy, and Jupyter Notebook to verify, validate, or compare scientific claims where appropriate.
Collaborate remotely with multidisciplinary teams to improve AI reasoning and scientific evaluation quality.

Required Skills and Qualifications

PhD in Physics with demonstrated scholarly impact and recognized expertise in a specialized area of physics.
Current or former Associate Professor, Full Professor, Chair Professor, Principal Investigator, Group Leader, or equivalent senior research leadership position.
Active or recent research expertise in one or more areas such as High Energy Physics, Mathematical Physics, Biophysics, Statistical Physics, Condensed Matter Physics, AMO Physics, Quantum Optics, Gravitation, Cosmology, Astrophysics, Quantum Information, or Optical Properties of Materials.
Strong ability to evaluate competing scientific arguments and provide balanced, technically rigorous assessments.
Experience supervising PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, or leading independent research programs.
Proficiency with LaTeX and familiarity with Python, SymPy, and Jupyter Notebook for scientific computation and technical verification.
Exceptional written communication skills with the ability to explain complex scientific reasoning clearly and authoritatively.
Ability to work independently in a remote, collaborative environment.

Preferred Qualifications

Recent peer-reviewed publications or preprints (3–5 representative publications) with accessible arXiv or DOI references.
Demonstrated leadership in academic, government, or industrial research programs.
Extensive experience conducting peer review, editorial work, grant evaluation, or scientific advisory activities.
Strong background in theoretical, computational, or experimental physics research.
Interest in AI, scientific computing, or applying research expertise to emerging technology platforms.

Additional Information

This opportunity is ideal for senior academic researchers, professors, and principal investigators who want to apply their expertise to the development of next-generation AI systems. Your work will directly influence how AI models evaluate competing scientific arguments, reason through advanced physics problems, assess research-quality evidence, and apply expert-level judgment across complex scientific domains.
