PhD Physicist/Mathematician Needed — Weekend Review

Title: PhD Physicist/Mathematician Needed — Weekend Review of Federal Proposal (Gauge Theory / Geometric Langlands) I need a fast, weekend-turnaround technical read on an 8-page proposal for a competitive U.S. federal R&D funding opportunity (deadline: Monday, July 13). The proposal makes the case for a novel sensing/imaging instrumentation concept grounded in gauge theory, S-duality, and geometric representation theory. This is not a request to verify or prove the underlying mathematical physics — the proposal is explicitly framed as a hypothesis to test, not a settled result. What I actually need: • A check for internal logical consistency — does a later section quietly claim more than an earlier one established • Flags on any imprecise or incorrect technical terminology • An honest read on whether the framing sounds credible to a smart, technically literate reader who isn't necessarily a specialist in this exact subfield Deliverable: a short written memo or inline comments on a shared doc, noting anything that needs fixing before Monday. Ideal candidate: PhD (or equivalent depth of experience) in mathematics, theoretical physics, or mathematical physics, ideally with some familiarity in gauge theory and/or geometric representation theory. Timeline: results needed by Sunday evening (July 12) or Monday morning (July 13) at the absolute latest — please only apply if you're genuinely free this weekend. Budget: fixed price, $250–400 for roughly 2–4 hours of review (open to discussing scope/rate for the right fit). This is a confidential, pre-submission proposal — happy to share the specifics and sign an NDA once we connect. In your application, let me know your relevant background and confirm you're actually available this weekend.
