Type: Contract
Compensation: $80 - $150/hour
Location: Remote
Commitment: 10-40 hrs/week
Role Responsibilities
Critically evaluate and review physics solutions, mathematical derivations, and theoretical arguments generated by researchers or AI platforms. Detect errors, unjustified steps, missing assumptions, dimensional inconsistencies, and weaknesses in logic or methodology. Delineate between substantive scientific issues and stylistic or cosmetic matters, providing technically precise written feedback. Articulate and document the reasoning behind any identified flaws, ensuring actionable guidance for improvement. Recognize when correct reasoning can be optimized, and offer suggestions to sharpen or clarify the argument. Utilize LaTeX, SymPy, Python, and Jupyter to independently verify or counter-check scientific claims as appropriate.
Requirements
Have strong relevant experience in the domain, such as a PhD in physics and an active record of independent research within a specialized subfield. Experience as a postdoctoral researcher, research fellow, junior/assistant professor, or senior research scientist. Recent representative publications in the relevant subfield, with arXiv or DOI links. Advanced proficiency with LaTeX, SymPy, Python, and Jupyter for theoretical modeling and computational validation.
