Mathematical Physicist, PhD

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.

📋 Description

• Engage in advanced research-level physics challenges within the applicant's specific subfield.

• Develop, resolve, review, or evaluate physics problems according to the alignment with publication record.

• Generate comprehensive written justifications for independent expert validation.

• Utilize techniques related to special function analysis, integrability, combinatorics, or geometric analysis.

• Submit representative papers, author positions, and proven methods for each designated research domain.

• Participate in onboarding or a brief live alignment call to establish the area and assignment.

• Complete a 30 to 45-minute assessment if necessary.

• Collaborate on initiatives that train and advance cutting-edge AI systems.

⛳️ Requirements

• PhD in mathematical physics, theoretical physics, or mathematics (this is a strict requirement).

• Published research on at least one identified phenomenon: special functions, integrable systems, permutation combinatorics for random tensor network entanglement, or conformal geometry.

• A verifiable publication record with three to five representative papers, ideally as the first author, including arXiv IDs or DOIs.

• Publications should preferably be from the last five years.

• The strongest candidates include postdoctoral researchers, research scientists, and junior faculty; senior PhD students with a robust first-author record are also encouraged to apply.

• Proficiency in LaTeX, Python, SymPy, and Jupyter.

• English proficiency at B2 level or higher, encompassing written reasoning.

• Capability to provide thorough written justifications that another specialist can independently follow and validate.

• Applicants must be eligible to work as independent contractors.

• H1-B and STEM OPT candidates are not eligible for consideration.

• A commitment of 10 hours per week over an 8 to 10 week period, beginning immediately.

🏝️ Benefits

• Flexible asynchronous schedule with no set hours.

• Fully remote work environment.

• Weekly payments through Stripe or Wise.

• Competitive compensation based on the depth of subdomain alignment.

• Opportunities for project extensions.

• Reasonable accommodations available upon request.

• Chance to collaborate with leading researchers and contribute to the development of next-generation AI systems.

• Referral bonuses of up to $440 for each successful referral.
