YO AI Labs; North Carolina; Remote; USD 83,000 - 165,000; Part time

Benefits offered by this job

Remote, worldwide collaboration

Job summary

YO AI Labs is seeking a part-time Physics Expert (AMO/Atomic Structure & Optical Properties) to contribute on a fully remote basis. You will assess atomic-structure calculations and polarizability, review CI methods, and discuss transitions in Yb-171 and Yb-174 with rigorous scientific reasoning.

The role requires strong AMO background, ability to communicate complex physics clearly, and flexibility for 5–10+ hours per week in a globally distributed team.

Qualifications

• PhD or equivalent in Physics, AMO specialization preferred.
• Experience with ab initio atomic-structure or quantum-chemistry calculations.
• Strong understanding of configuration interaction methods and polarizability calculations.

Responsibilities

• Provide expert-level insights into AMO physics, atomic structure, spectroscopy, and optical properties.
• Review ab initio CI methods for polarizability calculations.
• Evaluate atomic-structure calculations for Yb-171 and Yb-174.
• Analyze electronic states, energy levels, transitions, and spectroscopy data.
• Explain sigma vs. pi transitions with orbital symmetry and selection rules.
• Apply electric-dipole transitions, parity, angular momentum concepts to atomic systems.
• Critically review methodologies and results.
