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 focused on 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 fit, seniority, and demonstrated hands-on experience. No prior experience in AI is required.

• Review and audit technical derivations
• Identify conceptual, geometric, algebraic, or methodological errors
• Compare alternative approaches to the same problem
• Provide detailed written feedback suitable for advanced theoretical-physics review

Solver, Auditor & Adjudicator Responsibilities

• Serve as a Solver by independently developing complete technical solutions
• Serve as an Auditor by checking derivations, tensor algebra, and physical interpretations
• Serve as an Adjudicator when competing solutions require expert comparison
• Clearly document assumptions and reasoning
• Adapt project responsibilities based on research background and technical expertise

Ideal Profile

• Advanced expertise in high-energy physics, mathematical physics, holography, or a closely related field
• Strong direct experience with AdS/CFT
• Demonstrated familiarity with on-shell gravitational actions
• Strong understanding of holographic dualities
• Extensive familiarity with Weyl anomalies
