About the role

ESR Healthcare is seeking a Physics Expert (PhD / Postdoc) for a remote contractor role. The position involves solving advanced physics problems, providing rigorous derivations, and documenting results with LaTeX, using SymPy, Python, and Jupyter for verification. You will articulate ambiguities and iterate on feedback while maintaining high standards of reproducibility. The role offers flexible scheduling (10–15+ hours per week) and is suitable for candidates committed to ongoing collaboration

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
