What this actually is

You design problems that stump current AI models, evaluate AI reasoning against the correct answer, write rubrics, and provide expert feedback. Often the highest-paid category because the expertise pool is small. The platform title (Physics Expert (Gravity and Holography)) reflects the rate band and the expertise required, not the day-to-day work.

How micro1 picks people

  1. Apply to the role, then do an interview with micro1's AI recruiter. It takes 20 to 40 minutes.
  2. Some roles add a short skills test after the interview.
  3. If you pass, micro1 asks you to finish your profile and verify your ID. You then join its certified pool and can apply to its other open roles.

Before you start

  • Plan for 40 minutes in a quiet place.
  • Have your CV and two or three examples of your own work in this field ready to talk about.

Not every applicant gets an offer. Prepare well for the interview.

Role Title: Physics Expert (Gravity and Holography)

Role Type: Contractor

Location: Remote

micro1 is engaging Physics Experts (Gravity and Holography) to participate in a frontier research-level physics benchmark project focused on gravity, cosmology, and holography. 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 may be selected for distinct assignments such as Solver, Auditor, or Adjudicator, depending on their subject-matter expertise, seniority, and practical experience with key focus areas such as gravity with torsion, inflation, holography with boundaries and branes, and holographic codes.

Scope of Work

• Analyze and solve advanced problems in gravity, general relativity, cosmology, holography, and related theoretical frameworks.

• Review, critique, and validate solutions submitted by other experts for consistency, rigor, and clarity.

• Interpret and apply cutting-edge concepts involving gravity with torsion, inflation, and holography with boundaries or branes.

• Develop and refine technical content, ensuring precision and accessibility for benchmarking purposes.

• Prepare detailed explanations and justifications of methodologies, including derivations using LaTeX.

• Participate in adjudication tasks to resolve differences or ambiguities in submitted solutions.

• Contribute written and verbal feedback to enhance the quality of data and the effectiveness of AI training benchmarks.

Preferred Qualifications

• Advanced understanding of general relativity, quantum field theory, string theory, cosmology, and holography.

• Demonstrated hands-on experience with complex problem solving in theoretical physics, particularly in gravity and holography.

• Strong proficiency in scientific writing and presentation using LaTeX.

• Experience with frontier topics: gravity with torsion, inflationary cosmology, brane dynamics, or holographic codes.

• Proven ability to communicate complex ideas clearly in both written and verbal formats.

• Background in research, academic publishing, or participation in theoretical physics collaborations.

• Detail-oriented approach and a commitment to scientific rigor and precision.
