Job Description
Job DescriptionRole Overview
Collaborating with a leading AI research lab on a project to advance frontier physics problem-solving. We are looking for physics experts who hold a PhD or Masters degree, or have experience participating in theInternational Physics Olympiad (IPhO). The goal of this project is tocreate novel, clear, and challenging Olympiad-style physics problemsthat cause the frontier AI models to fail (i.e. generate an incorrect response) and support the training of cutting-edge AI models.
This is a short-term, high impact, remote opportunity for those excited about applying their expertise to frontier AI research, with the possibility of extension based on performance.
2. Key Responsibilities
-
Writeoriginal advanced IPhO-style physicsproblems to challenge frontier AI models
-
Evaluate AI-generated solutions forcorrectness, clarity and styleand identify where models fail
-
Identifylogical flaws, incomplete reasoning, or insufficiently-rigorous proofs
-
Provideclear, concise, and correct solutions chain of thought reasoningusing proper LaTeX formatting
-
Maintain extremely high standards of precision and problem difficulty
3. Required Qualifications
Note: Applicants must be highly proficient in writing and formatting documents using LaTeX
You are a good fit for the project if you have any of the following experiences:
- Have aMasters or PhD in physics(or a related field), or are anOlympiad participant or medalistin the IPhO (preferred) or equivalent competitions (RPhO, CPhO, APhO, EuPhO, USAPhO, BPhO, INPhO, JPhO, UPC, IYPT, CUPT).
Other qualifications:
-
Deep understanding of your domainscore theoretical and experimental concepts
-
Ability toarticulate reasoning and derivationsclearly in written form
-
Strong ability to evaluate the rigor and complexity of physics problems
-
Rigorous attention to detail in verifying solutions
4. More About the Opportunity
-
Expected commitment: 20 hours/week minimum; up to 40 hours/week available
-
Approximate project length: ~2 months, with extension potential
-
Rolling start dates; setup typically within 12 days of approval
6. Application Process
-
Submit your resume or CV highlighting physics background and relevant achievements
-
Complete a brief interview (2030 minutes)
-
Submit a short form detailing your experience writing problems and competing in physics competitions
-
Selected applicants will be contacted within a few days with next steps
We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.
