The work involves solving complex research-level physics problems, reviewing expert solutions, and contributing to the creation of human-verified benchmark data used to measure AI reasoning capabilities.
Ideal Qualifications
• PhD, Postdoctoral Researcher, Faculty Member, or Industry Research Scientist in Physics or a related field.
• Expertise in one or more areas including High Energy Physics, Mathematical Physics, Biophysics, Statistical Physics, Condensed Matter Physics, AMO Physics, Cosmology, Astrophysics, Quantum Information, or Quantum Mechanics.
• Strong publication record demonstrating research expertise in a relevant subfield.
• Experience solving complex research-level physics problems and developing rigorous scientific analyses.
• Proficiency with Python, Jupyter Notebooks, SymPy, and LaTeX.
• Excellent analytical reasoning, problem-solving, and scientific communication skills.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to scientific accuracy.
Responsibilities
• Solve research-level physics problems and develop complete reference solutions.
• Create structured problem decompositions and verification methodologies.
• Author Python-based answer templates and automated validation functions.
• Review and audit submitted solutions for correctness, rigor, and methodological soundness.
• Provide detailed feedback to improve solution quality and benchmark reliability.
• Adjudicate between competing solution approaches and determine final reference answers.
• Document derivations, verification procedures, error tolerances, and scientific rationale.
• Contribute to the development of high-quality benchmark datasets for evaluating frontier AI systems.
Project Details
• Expected commitment of approximately 10 hours per week.
• Fully remote and asynchronous work environment.
• Opportunity to collaborate with leading AI researchers and domain experts.
• Long-term project engagement with potential extensions based on project needs.
