Physics Specialist PhD (AMO / Optical Properties of Materials) — AI Model Training & Evaluation (Remote AI Evaluation Contract)

Join Jobtacular as a remote Physics Specialist PhD (AMO / Optical Properties of Materials) — AI Model Training & Evaluation (Remote AI Evaluation Contract) ($100 - $200/hour). We partner with leading AI research laboratories across major English-speaking markets to evaluate complex responses, design realistic domain scenarios, and calibrate next-generation foundation models using deep professional expertise in Physics, ab initio configuration interaction for polarizability, atomic-structure calculations for Yb-171 / Yb-174, sigma vs pi transition identification.

What You Will Do

• Review, analyze, and discuss ab initio configuration interaction methods for calculating polarizability in atomic systems.
• Offer guidance and critique on atomic-structure calculations, specifically for Yb-171 and Yb-174 isotopes.
• Identify and differentiate between sigma and pi transitions in relevant atomic spectra, explaining underlying physical principles.
• Participate in adaptive, spoken AI interviews, responding to one question at a time and providing clear, concrete examples from legally shareable research or projects.
• Demonstrated professional or academic background in Physics, ab initio configuration interaction for polarizability, atomic-structure calculations for Yb-171 / Yb-174, sigma vs pi transition identification.
• Strong analytical reasoning and ability to articulate complex concepts clearly in written English.
• High attention to detail when reviewing technical or domain-specific documentation.

Who We Are Looking For

• Comprehensive command of atomic-structure computation techniques, particularly as applied to ytterbium isotopes (Yb-171 and Yb-174).
• Strong capability to identify and explain sigma vs pi transitions in atomic contexts.
• Demonstrated aptitude for clear, structured written and verbal scientific communication.
• Compensation Band: $100 - $200/hour
