Role Title: Physics Expert (Professor / Principal Investigator)

Role Type: Contractor.

Location: Remote

micro1 is engaging Physics Experts-established Professors or Principal Investigators-to provide high-level domain guidance as part of an impactful project for a customer. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required - your domain knowledge is what matters.

Scope of Work

* Adjudicate and render expert judgment on contested or competing physics arguments, solutions, or interpretations within your subfield.

* Compare alternative approaches to the same problem, detailing which is superior, under what assumptions, and in which regimes.

* Identify and articulate meta-level criteria for evaluating the robustness and validity of competing physics work, such as key assumptions and breaking points of approximations.

* Exercise calibrated confidence by providing authoritative assessments while transparently acknowledging genuine uncertainty or open questions in the field.

* Draft defensible written evaluations suitable for review by fellow senior physicists, ensuring clarity and rigor.

* Leverage technical tools such as LaTeX, SymPy, Python, and Jupyter to verify or contrast technical claims as needed.

* Clearly communicate when a question is unresolved within the field and delineate the pertinent considerations.

Preferred Qualifications

* PhD in physics with demonstrated expertise and scholarly impact in your specified subfield.

* Current or former Associate Professor, Full Professor, Chair Professor, or Principal Investigator/Group Leader with a track record of independent research leadership.

* Ongoing research activity in one or more of these areas: High Energy Physics, Mathematical Physics, Biophysics, Statistical Physics, Condensed Matter, AMO/Quantum Optics, Gravitation, Cosmology, Astrophysics, Quantum Information, or Optical Properties of Materials.

* 3-5 recent representative publications in your target subfield, with arXiv or DOI references.

* Prior experience supervising PhD students or postdocs, or equivalent leadership in industry research settings.

* Proficiency with LaTeX, SymPy, Python, and Jupyter (please indicate any gaps in experience with these tools).

* Exceptional written communication skills, with the ability to articulate nuanced and well-reasoned judgments.
