Physics Expert (High Energy / Mathematical Physics) | $80-$160/hr Remote
Overview
micro1 is hiring high energy and mathematical physics experts for a customer project that feeds research-grade content into AI training systems. The actual problems involve AdS/CFT, on-shell gravitational actions, and Weyl-Fefferman-Graham gauge in dimensions up to 8. You do not need AI experience; your domain knowledge is the product. Depending on fit, you may take on Solver, Auditor, or Adjudicator work.
What You'll Do5
- 1Work through research-level problems in AdS/CFT correspondence, on-shell gravitational actions, and Weyl-Fefferman-Graham gauge.
- 2Derive and verify tensor algebra expressions that involve boundary curvature invariants in dimensions up to 8.
- 3Create benchmark solutions for holographic Weyl anomaly problems that AI teams will use to evaluate model performance.
- 4Check submitted solutions for mathematical consistency and flag anything that does not hold up under holographic reasoning.
- 5Serve as an adjudicator when competing solutions disagree, using your physics judgment to settle the correct result.
Requirements4
- 1Advanced expertise in high energy physics or mathematical physics, backed by real work on AdS/CFT, gravitational actions, or holographic dualities.
- 2Direct familiarity with Weyl anomalies, Fefferman-Graham expansion, and boundary curvature invariants in spaces up to dimension 8.
- 3Strong tensor algebra and differential geometry skills, since most of the problems require precise manipulation of expressions rather than conceptual outlines.
- 4A track record of explaining subtle scientific ideas to others in writing and conversation, because your answers will guide people who are not theoretical physicists.
Who Should Apply
The person who fits best has already done hands-on calculations in AdS/CFT or holographic dualities and can push tensor algebra through higher-dimensional boundary curvature invariants without leaning on vague intuition. The role is a poor match for condensed matter or experimental physicists whose research never crosses into holography, and it will frustrate theorists who expect to learn this material during the contract. Most rejections go to applicants who list Weyl anomalies and Fefferman-Graham expansions on paper but cannot work through a specific derivative or expansion when asked.
Salary Insight
The posted rate for this contractor engagement is $80 to $160 per hour. micro1 confirms the exact rate during contract discussions.

Application Tip
Write one original calculation from your own research that uses Fefferman-Graham gauge or Weyl anomalies and include it with your application. Spell out the tensor algebra rather than citing computer output, because the reviewer needs to see your technical depth, not just your conclusion.
