Role Title: Physics Expert (Condensed Matter / Magnetic Materials)

Role Type: Contractor

Location: Remote

micro1 is engaging Physics Experts (Condensed Matter / Magnetic Materials) to contribute to a leading-edge research opportunity focused on magnetic space groups, neutron scattering, BNS notation, and the physical signatures of magnetic order. 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

  • Analyze and interpret magnetic structure factors, utilizing propagation-vector methodologies and advanced symmetry concepts in condensed matter physics.
  • Identify and classify magnetic phases (AFM, FM, and related types) using both theoretical and experimental data, including neutron diffraction results.
  • Curate and validate magnetic space group assignments with reference to established datasets such as MAGNDATA, ensuring robust correlation with BNS notation conventions.
  • Evaluate birefringence and magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE) signatures for selected materials, connecting optical phenomena to underlying magnetic structure.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Advanced academic background (PhD or equivalent research experience) in condensed matter physics, with a specialization in magnetism or related fields.
  • Demonstrated proficiency in magnetic structure factor calculations, propagation-vector analysis, and symmetry-based phase identification.
  • Direct experience classifying magnetic space groups, with hands-on familiarity with MAGNDATA and BNS notation.
  • Strong knowledge of neutron scattering techniques for magnetic structure determination.
  • Ability to connect experimental signatures (e.g., birefringence, MOKE) to underlying physical mechanisms.
Applying via micro1: micro1 screens with an AI interview ("Zara") and pays weekly once placed. Free to apply; most roles are long-running contracts.
