Remote | Advanced Physics Problem Design Expert — $100–$125/hour
About The Position
We are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for PhD-level professionals experienced in advanced physics, theoretical modeling, mathematical formalism, problem design, scientific reasoning, and structured technical evaluation. This role supports current and upcoming remote consulting opportunities focused on advanced physics problem creation, domain-specific 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.
Requirements
- PhD in Physics or a closely related field
- Strong expertise in one or more advanced physics subdomains, such as statistical mechanics, condensed matter physics, AMO physics, quantum mechanics, electrodynamics, classical mechanics, string theory, QFT, particle physics, nuclear physics, general relativity, astrophysics, or cosmology
- Graduate degree from a U.S., U.K., Canadian, Western European, or comparable research university
- 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
- 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 applied physics, theoretical physics, astrophysics, or closely related fields may also be valuable depending on project scope
Nice To Haves
- 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 several rigorous tasks per week during active project periods
Responsibilities
- Create difficult, domain-specific physics problems across advanced theoretical, mathematical, and applied physics 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
- 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
- Apply PhD-level physics training to design challenging tasks grounded in real scientific, mathematical, and theoretical 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
Benefits
- Competitive hourly compensation
- Flexible scheduling
- Ongoing project structure with rolling applications
- Competitive rates between $100–$125 per hour depending on expertise
- Weekly payments via Stripe or Wise
