About the Opportunity
We are seeking PhD and Postdoctoral-level Physics Experts to support a high-impact project focused on training next-generation AI systems. You’ll solve advanced physics problems, develop rigorous scientific solutions, and help improve AI reasoning across complex scientific concepts.
No prior AI experience is required — your physics expertise is the primary qualification.
Key Responsibilities
- Solve advanced physics problems within your research specialization.
- Produce rigorous derivations and structured solutions using LaTeX.
- Document assumptions, approximations, reasoning, and final results clearly.
- Use Python, SymPy, and Jupyter for symbolic and numerical verification.
- Identify boundary conditions, limiting cases, special cases, and dimensional consistency.
- Review project materials, identify ambiguities, and provide well-reasoned interpretations.
- Revise solutions based on reviewer feedback while maintaining technical accuracy.
- Follow professional scientific documentation and reproducibility standards.
