Telecommute Postdoctoral Theoretical & Mathematical Physics Researcher (PhD) — Digital Domain Advisor

Partner with SMR Talent Collective from anywhere in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, NZ, or Ireland as a remote Telecommute Postdoctoral Theoretical & Mathematical Physics Researcher (PhD) — Digital Domain Advisor ($100 - $200/hour). This specialist role focuses on evaluating AI model outputs, authoring domain-specific rubrics, and validating technical workflows involving Physics Mastery, Written Technical Communication, Technical Problem-Solving Depth, Mathematical & Computational Fluency.

Project Responsibilities

• Solve advanced physics problems from your specialization, delivering rigorous, well-documented derivations and analyses.
• Produce technically precise, clearly written solutions, detailing all assumptions, approximations, and final results using LaTeX mathematical notation.
• Utilize SymPy, Python, and Jupyter for symbolic or numerical verification and clear computational workflows where relevant.
• Identify and articulate subtleties in problem statements, including special cases, boundary conditions, and dimensional consistency.
• Flag ambiguities in project materials, proposing well-reasoned interpretations and clarifications as needed.
• Iterate on submitted solutions in response to feedback from project reviewers, ensuring corrections are cleanly integrated.
• Uphold rigorous standards in documentation and reproducibility consistent with professional research practice.

Required Expertise

• Research expertise in one or more of: High Energy Physics, Mathematical Physics, Biophysics, Statistical Physics, Condensed Matter (including moiré systems, magnetism, PXP/Rydberg), AMO/Quantum Optics, Gravitation, Cosmology, Astrophysics, Quantum Information, or Optical Properties of Materials.
• 2–5 recent representative publications (past ~5 years) in your field, with accessible arXiv or DOI records.
• Proficiency with LaTeX for presenting mathematics, and with SymPy, Python, and Jupyter for computational work; willingness to indicate areas for further support if needed.
• Demonstrated excellence in written technical communication, with a track record of producing clear, precise, and well-argued scientific outputs.
• Strong analytical skills, able to isolate key physical principles and provide nuanced solutions to complex problems.
• Availability to engage with the project consistently over an 8–10 week period (approx. 10 hours/week).
• Compensation Band: $100 - $200/hour
