Physics Domain Expert

What You'll Do5

• Review physics tasks and model answers, flagging broken derivations, weak approximations, and results that fail on dimensional or limit checks.
• Write rigorous reference solutions and precise problem statements that mirror how research physics is actually practiced.
• Build challenging evaluation sets and research-level problems inside your area of specialization.
• Partner with researchers and experts in neighboring fields to convert tacit judgment into explicit, teachable criteria.
• Distinguish answers that merely sound plausible from ones that would hold up under peer review.

Requirements7

• PhD in physics, astrophysics, applied physics, or a closely related discipline.
• A senior research post such as faculty appointment, principal investigator, staff or senior scientist at a university, national laboratory, or research organization.
• Deep specialization in one area, for example condensed matter, high-energy or particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology, atomic, molecular, optical and quantum physics, or statistical and computational physics.
• A strong peer-reviewed publication record; competitive fellowships or awards add weight.
• Hands-on experience using large language models in your own work.
• Strong written communication with a talent for structured, precise feedback.
• Based in the United States.

Who Should Apply

Physicists with a PhD and a senior research appointment who specialize in one domain, whether condensed matter, cosmology, or quantum physics. You already use large language models in your work and can spot a plausible-sounding wrong answer fast.
