Physics Expert (PhD / Postdoc) Required SkillsPhysics Mastery Written Technical CommunicationTechnical Problem-Solving DepthMathematical & Computational Fluency About micro1micro1 is the leading AI data lab for training frontier models and evaluating AI agents. Experts contribute their diverse subject matter knowledge across domains such as finance, healthcare, STEM engineering, and more. micro1 transforms that real-world expertise into high-quality training data, evaluations, and feedback loops that improve how AI systems learn, reason, and perform. Our platform identifies and vets top talent through an AI recruiter, enabling high-quality expert contributions at scale. We aim to enable 1 billion people to do meaningful work by applying their expertise to AI. As our global expert network grows, micro1 is building the human intelligence layer for frontier AI. Role Title: Physics Expert (PhD / Postdoc) Role Type: Contractor. Location: Remotemicro1 is engaging Physics Experts (PhD / Postdoc) to contribute deep scientific knowledge and problem-solving skills to a high-impact customer project. In this role, youll 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 WorkSolve advanced physics problems from your specialization, delivering rigorous, well-documented derivations and analysesProduce technically precise, clearly written solutions, detailing all assumptions, approximations, and final results using LaTeX mathematical notationUtilize SymPy, Python, and Jupyter for symbolic or numerical verification and clear computational workflows where relevantIdentify and articulate subtleties in problem statements, including special cases, boundary conditions, and dimensional consistencyFlag ambiguities in project materials, proposing well-reasoned interpretations and clarifications as neededIterate on submitted solutions in response to feedback from project reviewers, ensuring corrections are cleanly integratedUphold rigorous standards in documentation and reproducibility consistent with professional research practicePreferred QualificationsPhD in physics or advanced-stage PhD candidacy, with active research experience in a relevant subfieldResearch 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 Materials2–5 recent representative publications (past ~5 years) in your field, with accessible arXiv or DOI recordsProficiency with LaTeX for presenting mathematics, and with SymPy, Python, and Jupyter for computational work; willingness to indicate areas for further support if neededDemonstrated excellence in written technical communication, with a track record of producing clear, precise, and well-argued scientific outputsStrong analytical skills, able to isolate key physical principles and provide nuanced solutions to complex problemsAvailability to engage with the project consistently over an 8–10 week period (approx. 10 hours/week)
