Ideal Candidate Profile
- Strong foundation in Physics, similar to the depth expected in engineering entrance exams or graduate/PhD-level study programs.
- Ability to break down complex concepts into simple, elucidating explanations.
- Proven ability to work efficiently in demanding research environments.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Day-to-Day Responsibilities
- Design and solve advanced Physics problems to probe the limitations of large language models (LLMs).
- Create clear, structured, and well-articulated step-by-step solutions with rigorous reasoning.
- Collaborate with LLM researchers to refine problem evaluation standards, focusing on areas where models falter—such as abstraction, multi-step reasoning, or symbolic manipulation.
- Help define novel evaluation benchmarks using Physics curricula covering early undergraduate to PhD-level topics.
Requirements
Essential
- Strong analytical and research skills.
- Ability to provide constructive feedback and detailed, annotated evaluations.
- Creative and lateral problem-solving capabilities.
- Excellent written and verbal communication for remote collaboration.
- Self-motivated, with high independence to thrive in a remote-first environment.
- Reliable technical setup: desktop/laptop with stable internet connectivity for collaboration tools.
