Remote | Physics Expert (High Energy / Mathematical Physics) — $80–$160/hour
About The Position
24-MAG LLC is offering a fully remote independent-contractor consulting opportunity for experienced physics professionals specializing in high-energy physics, mathematical physics, holography, or gravitational theory. Contributors will participate in a frontier research-level benchmark involving holography, AdS/CFT, Weyl anomalies, and higher-dimensional geometric structures up to d ≤ 8. Depending on their expertise, seniority, and hands-on research experience, contributors may work as Solvers, Auditors, or Adjudicators. Assignments may involve analytical derivations, tensor identities, holographic anomaly calculations, and advanced benchmark evaluation. Project scope, workload, technical topics, and evaluation standards may change according to project requirements. Work must not use confidential or proprietary information belonging to an employer, research institution, laboratory, collaborator, or other third party. No prior AI experience is required.
Requirements
- Advanced expertise in high-energy physics, mathematical physics, holography, or a closely related field.
- Strong direct experience with AdS/CFT and holographic dualities.
- Demonstrated familiarity with on-shell gravitational actions.
- Extensive knowledge of Weyl anomalies and Fefferman–Graham expansions.
- Familiarity with Weyl–Fefferman–Graham gauge methods.
- Strong command of tensor algebra and differential geometry.
- Experience with boundary curvature invariants and higher-dimensional geometric expressions.
- Strong analytical and mathematical reasoning skills.
- Ability to communicate complex theoretical-physics concepts clearly.
Nice To Haves
- Experience reviewing advanced theoretical-physics research is highly valuable.
Responsibilities
- Solve and review research-level problems involving AdS/CFT and holographic dualities.
- Derive and evaluate on-shell gravitational actions, boundary contributions, and regularisation procedures.
- Analyse bulk-boundary relationships and near-boundary geometric structures.
- Work with Weyl–Fefferman–Graham gauge and Fefferman–Graham-type expansions.
- Identify conceptual, sign, convention, or methodological inconsistencies in technical derivations.
- Develop and verify complex tensor expressions, curvature tensors, and geometric invariants.
- Check contractions, index structure, symmetry properties, and dimensional consistency.
- Analyse boundary curvature invariants and higher-dimensional structures up to d ≤ 8.
- Derive or verify holographic Weyl-anomaly expressions.
- Compare alternative formulations and assess mathematical and physical consistency.
- Produce complete research-level solutions as a Solver.
- Audit tensor algebra, derivations, and physical interpretations.
- Compare competing approaches and adjudicate technically disputed solutions.
- Identify geometric, algebraic, conceptual, or methodological errors.
- Document assumptions, reasoning, and conclusions with research-level precision.
