Remote | Physics Expert (High Energy / Mathematical Physics) — $80–$160/hour

We are sharing a specialised consulting opportunity for experienced Physics Experts in high-energy physics, mathematical physics, holography, and gravitational theory with strong expertise in AdS/CFT, on-shell gravitational actions, Weyl–Fefferman–Graham gauge methods, tensor algebra, and boundary curvature invariants.

Selected professionals will contribute to a frontier research-level benchmark involving holography, AdS/CFT, Weyl anomalies, and higher-dimensional geometric structures in dimensions up to d8d \leq 8. Contributors may participate as Solvers, Auditors, or Adjudicators depending on subfield expertise, seniority, and hands-on research experience. No prior experience in AI is required.

Key Responsibilities

Holography & Gravitational Analysis

• 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

Tensor Geometry & Weyl Anomalies

• 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 d8d \leq 8
• Derive or verify holographic Weyl-anomaly expressions
• Compare alternative formulations and assess mathematical and physical consistency

Benchmark Review & Adjudication

• 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

Ideal Profile

• 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
• Experience reviewing advanced theoretical-physics research is highly valuable
• No prior AI-training or model-evaluation experience is required

Engagement Details

• Independent contractor engagement
• Fully remote
• Compensation: $80–$160/hour
• Work will involve AdS/CFT, holography, on-shell gravitational actions, Weyl–Fefferman–Graham gauge methods, tensor algebra, differential geometry, boundary curvature invariants, and Weyl anomalies
• Research problems may involve dimensions up to d8d \leq 8
• Contributors may participate as Solvers, Auditors, or Adjudicators depending on expertise and seniority
• Assignments may involve analytical derivations, tensor identities, holographic anomaly calculations, and advanced benchmark evaluation
• Project scope, workload, technical topics, and evaluation standards may evolve depending on project requirements
• Work must be completed without using confidential or proprietary information belonging to any employer, research institution, laboratory, collaborator, or other third party
