The role, as micro1 describes it

Role Title: Physics Expert (AMO / Optical Properties of Materials)

Role Type: Part-Time, Contractor

Location: Fully Remote, Open to candidates worlwide

Schedule: 5-10+ hrs/week. Fully flexible (Can accomodate after hours + weekends if needed)

micro1 is engaging Physics Experts (AMO / Optical Properties of Materials) to contribute their advanced knowledge to a specialized customer project focused on atomic and optical properties. 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.

Scope of Work

Read the rest of the description (11 more paragraphs)

• Provide expert insights on atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics, with an emphasis on the optical properties of materials.

• 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.

Preferred Qualifications

• Advanced degree (Ms,PhD or equivalent experience) in Physics, with a focus on AMO physics or optical properties of materials.

• Proven experience with ab initio quantum chemistry calculations, specifically configuration interaction approaches to polarizability.

• Deep understanding 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.
