PhD Physicist

Role Title: PhD Physicist

Role Type: Contractor

Location: Remote

micro1 is engaging PhD Physicists to contribute their expertise to a customer’s project focused on advanced physics research and AI training. 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. Contributors will investigate the laws of matter and energy, develop and elucidate physical theories, and play a pivotal role in teaching, evaluating, and articulating complex scientific concepts. This opportunity is ideal for those passionate about research, critical analysis, and scientific communication.

Scope of Work

• Conduct deep-dive research on fundamental and applied physics topics, exploring the latest developments in the field.
• Analyze experimental data and interpret findings to support the formulation of robust physical theories.
• Develop clear, detailed explanations of complex scientific concepts for AI system evaluation and instruction purposes.
• Assist in the creation and curation of physics-related educational content for AI training modules.
• Critically review and assess AI-generated content for conceptual accuracy, clarity, and scientific rigor.
• Collaborate remotely with project stakeholders to refine deliverables and ensure alignment with project objectives.
• Provide written and verbal feedback on research outcomes and physics-related queries as part of an iterative AI training process.

Preferred Qualifications

• Doctorate (PhD) in Physics or a closely related scientific discipline.
• Demonstrated experience in conducting rigorous scientific research and publishing in peer-reviewed journals.
• Strong foundation in theoretical and experimental physics, with the ability to synthesize and communicate complex ideas.
• Exceptional critical thinking and problem-solving skills, with a keen attention to detail.
• Proficiency in both written and verbal communication, with a passion for science education and outreach.
• Experience in developing or delivering physics instruction at the university or advanced undergraduate level is a plus.
• Comfort engaging in collaborative, remote research and contributing to multidisciplinary projects.
