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 Master’s degree

, or have experience participating in the

International Physics Olympiad (IPhO)

. The goal of this project is to

create novel, clear, and challenging Olympiad-style physics problems

that 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

----------------------------


Write

original & advanced IPhO-style physics

problems to challenge frontier AI models Evaluate AI-generated solutions for

correctness, clarity and style

and identify where models fail Identify

logical flaws, incomplete reasoning, or insufficiently-rigorous proofs

Provide

clear, concise, and correct solutions & chain of thought reasoning

using 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 a

Master’s or PhD in physics

(or a related field), or are an

Olympiad participant or medalist

in the IPhO (preferred) or equivalent competitions (RPhO, CPhO, APhO, EuPhO, USAPhO, BPhO, INPhO, JPhO, UPC, IYPT, CUPT).

Other qualifications:

Deep understanding of your domain’s

core theoretical and experimental concepts

Ability to

articulate reasoning and derivations

clearly 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 1–2 days of approval

6. Application Process

---------------------------


Submit your resume or CV highlighting physics background and relevant achievements Complete a brief interview (20–30 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.
