Job Description
Role 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 difficulty3. 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 solutions4. 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 approval6. 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.
