Job description

About the job Remote | Physics PhD - Theoretical Physics Expert - $90-$120/hour
We are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for PhD-level professionals experienced in theoretical physics, string theory, quantum field theory, particle physics, nuclear physics, advanced problem design, and structured scientific evaluation.
This role supports current and upcoming remote consulting opportunities focused on advanced physics problem creation, theoretical reasoning review, technical writing, research-informed task development, and high-quality project execution. Selected professionals will apply their physics expertise to create difficult problems in their specialized domain, evaluate technical reasoning, prepare structured written outputs, and support accurate, evidence-based physics workflows.
Key Responsibilities
Professionals in this role may contribute to:
Advanced Physics Problem Creation

  • Create difficult, domain-specific problems in string theory, quantum field theory, particle physics, nuclear physics, or closely related areas
  • Develop problems that require rigorous reasoning, technical accuracy, mathematical formalism, and deep subject matter understanding
  • Write clear reference solutions, expected reasoning paths, and structured answer explanations
  • Ensure submitted work reflects strong domain knowledge and high-quality scientific standards
Theoretical Reasoning & Technical Review
  • Review physics outputs for correctness, clarity, completeness, and reasoning quality
  • Evaluate assumptions, derivations, mathematical steps, physical interpretation, and conclusions against domain-specific standards
  • Identify reasoning gaps, unsupported conclusions, ambiguity, and expected technical outcomes
  • Provide structured feedback that improves task quality and evaluation consistency
Research-Informed Task Development
  • Apply PhD-level physics training to design challenging tasks grounded in advanced theoretical and mathematical concepts
  • Translate complex domain expertise into clear, structured, evaluable task formats
  • Follow detailed project instructions and complete technical assignments with accuracy and sustained focus
  • Maintain accuracy, consistency, and professional judgment across submitted work
Ideal Profile
Strong candidates may have:
  • PhD in Physics with specialization in string theory, quantum field theory, particle physics, nuclear physics, or a closely related field
  • Graduate degree from a U.S., U.K., Canadian, Western European, or comparable research university
  • Strong command of advanced theoretical physics, mathematical formalism, derivations, and rigorous scientific reasoning
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English
  • High attention to detail and strong analytical judgment
  • Ability to follow complex instructions and produce rigorous technical outputs independently
Educational Background
  • PhD in Physics is strongly preferred
  • Research experience, academic publications, postdoctoral work, teaching experience, or advanced technical writing experience is highly relevant
  • Equivalent high-level research experience in theoretical physics, particle physics, nuclear physics, or closely related fields may also be valuable depending on project scope
Nice to Have
  • Experience creating advanced problem sets, graduate-level teaching materials, benchmark-style questions, or technical assessments
  • Background in research, peer review, academic publishing, scientific writing, or university-level instruction
  • Strong familiarity with mathematical notation, derivations, proof-style reasoning, computational physics, or domain-specific modeling tools
  • Ability to explain complex physics concepts clearly and precisely
  • Availability to complete approximately 4-6 rigorous tasks per week during active project periods
Why This Opportunity
  • Apply PhD-level theoretical physics expertise to structured remote project work
  • Contribute to high-quality scientific problem design, technical reasoning review, and advanced analytical task development
  • Work on flexible assignments aligned with your physics research background
  • Use your subject matter judgment in a focused, rigorous review environment
  • Remote structure with competitive hourly compensation
Contract Details
  • Independent contractor role
  • Fully remote with flexible scheduling
  • Ongoing project structure with rolling applications
  • Expected contribution of approximately 4-6 tasks per week depending on project availability
  • Competitive rates between $90-$120 per hour depending on expertise
  • Weekly payments via Stripe or Wise
  • Selected professionals may complete a short AI interview and application form before joining the project
  • 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
