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.
