About this role
Role Overview
Apply advanced atomic, molecular, and optical physics expertise to help train next-generation AI systems on a specialized project involving atomic and optical properties. Your work will provide high-quality, real-world scientific input that improves how AI systems reason and perform. Prior AI experience is not required.
Key Responsibilities
- Provide expert analysis and guidance in AMO physics, with emphasis on the optical properties of materials.
- Review and discuss ab initio configuration interaction methods used to calculate polarizability in atomic systems.
- Critique atomic-structure calculations for ytterbium isotopes Yb-171 and Yb-174.
- Identify and distinguish sigma and pi transitions in relevant atomic spectra, including the physical principles behind them.
- Take part in adaptive spoken AI interviews, answering one question at a time and using clear, concrete examples from legally shareable research or projects.
Qualifications
- Advanced degree in Physics, such as an MS or PhD, or equivalent experience, focused on AMO physics or optical properties of materials.
- Experience with ab initio quantum chemistry calculations, particularly configuration interaction approaches for polarizability.
- Deep knowledge of atomic-structure computation techniques applied to Yb-171 and Yb-174.
- Ability to identify and explain sigma and pi transitions in atomic contexts.
- Strong, structured written and verbal scientific communication skills.
Work Terms
- Remote contract engagement.
Compensation
- $80 to $160 per hour.
