Physics Expert in Gravitation Cosmology and Astrophysics
Overview
Remote contractor role for a research-focused project where your physics expertise directly informs training data for next generation AI systems. You’ll work on frontier topics like Dynamical Chern-Simons gravity, Palatini tetrad formalism, FRW cosmology, and quadratic inflation, applying both analytical and numerical methods. Your work will help shape how models reason about gravitation, cosmology, and astrophysics through high-quality real-world input. Expect assignments such as Solver, Auditor, or Adjudicator tailored to your subfield experience. Bold material: Palatini gravity, tetrad formalism, Pontryagin density, Friedmann equations with torsion.
What You'll Do5
- 1Provide detailed analytical and numerical solutions for Palatini gravity using first-order formalism with tetrads and spin connections
- 2Compute and assess Pontryagin density contributions within extended gravity frameworks
- 3Formulate and analyze Friedmann equations that include torsion in cosmological models
- 4Solve and interpret coupled nonlinear ODE systems relevant to cosmology and gravity
- 5Apply Planck-unit normalization across theoretical and computational tasks to maintain consistency
Requirements5
- 1PhD or equivalent in physics with a focus on gravitation, cosmology, or astrophysics
- 2Hands-on experience with first-order Palatini gravity and tetrad-spin connection formalisms
- 3Proven ability to derive, solve, and interpret nonlinear ODEs in cosmology and gravitational physics
- 4Familiarity with Pontryagin density, Chern-Simons modifications, and their physical implications
- 5Experience applying Planck-unit normalization in theoretical models
Who Should Apply
The ideal candidate is a PhD-level physicist who can translate complex gravity concepts into rigorous computational work. This role suits someone comfortable deriving and solving nonlinear ODE systems and who can interpret results within cosmology and gravitational physics. It may be less suitable for those without hands-on experience in Palatini gravity or tetrad formalisms. Common fit gaps include limited exposure to first-order formalisms or difficulty connecting mathematical results to physical interpretation, and not having worked with Planck-unit normalization in prior research.
Salary Insight
Pay ranges from 80 to 160 per hour and will be discussed during final negotiations.
