Advanced Physics Problem Design

  • Create challenging expert-level problems in advanced quantum mechanics, advanced electrodynamics, or classical mechanics
  • Design tasks that require rigorous physics reasoning, mathematical precision, and strong domain understanding
  • Develop problem statements that are clear, technically sound, and appropriate for advanced evaluation workflows
  • Ensure tasks are difficult, well-scoped, and aligned with graduate-level physics expectations

Solution Review & Technical Validation

  • Write or review expert-level reference solutions for advanced physics problems
  • Validate reasoning steps, mathematical derivations, assumptions, and final answers
  • Identify technical errors, incomplete reasoning, unclear problem structure, or gaps in scientific logic
  • Apply high attention to detail when reviewing physics content, task instructions, and solution quality

Structured Evaluation & Feedback

  • Follow complex project instructions and apply consistent evaluation criteria
  • Assess whether tasks and solutions meet rigorous technical standards
  • Provide clear written feedback explaining scientific reasoning, correctness, and improvement areas
  • Maintain accuracy, consistency, and professional judgment across submitted work

Ideal Profile

Strong candidates may have:

  • Completed PhD in Physics
  • Specialization in advanced quantum mechanics, advanced electrodynamics, classical mechanics, or a closely related advanced physics area
  • Graduate degree or advanced research background from a strong academic program in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, or Western Europe
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills in English
  • High attention to detail and ability to follow complex technical instructions
  • Strong ability to design, solve, and evaluate graduate-level physics problems
  • Ability to work independently in a remote, project-based environment

Educational Background

  • A completed PhD in Physics is expected
  • Research background in quantum mechanics, electrodynamics, classical mechanics, mathematical physics, theoretical physics, or closely related fields is highly relevant
  • Teaching, grading, problem-writing, exam design, research supervision, or advanced academic evaluation experience may be especially valuable

Nice to Have

  • Experience designing graduate-level problem sets, exams, technical assessments, or benchmark tasks
  • Familiarity with rigorous solution writing, derivations, proof-style reasoning, or advanced mathematical physics workflows
  • Experience reviewing technical work for correctness, clarity, and completeness
  • Comfort working with complex written instructions and structured evaluation criteria
  • Ability to contribute approximately 4–6 tasks per week, with each task requiring several hours depending on complexity

Why This Opportunity

  • Apply advanced physics expertise to structured remote project work
  • Contribute to high-quality problem design, technical reasoning review, and expert-level evaluation workflows
  • Work on flexible assignments aligned with your physics specialization and academic background
  • Use your PhD-level judgment to create difficult, rigorous, and technically precise physics tasks
  • Remote structure with competitive hourly compensation

Contract Details

  • Independent contractor role
  • Fully remote with flexible scheduling
  • Eligible professionals may be based in approved project locations depending on project needs
  • Ongoing project structure with rolling application review depending on availability
  • Expected contribution of approximately 4–6 tasks per week depending on project scope
  • Applicants may be asked to complete a brief screening interview and form as part of project review
  • Competitive rates between $60–$80 per hour depending on expertise and project scope
  • Weekly payments via Stripe or Wise
  • Projects may be extended, shortened, or adjusted depending on scope and performance
  • Work will not involve access to confidential or proprietary information from any employer, client, or institution
