About the Project

The project aims to create a set of fully human-verified reference solutions for advanced physics problems. These solutions will be used to evaluate the reasoning capabilities of advanced language models. The project is expected to last 8-10 weeks, with a typical commitment of ~10 hours per week. Successful collaborators may have the opportunity to extend their engagement or participate in future projects.

Responsibilities

• Solve, validate, and document physics problems at the level of a first-year graduate student or higher in at least two of the following subfields:
  • General relativity and differential geometry
  • Quantum field theory and gauge theory
  • Algebraic topology and homotopy theory
  • Statistical mechanics and stochastic processes
  • Differential equations and dynamical systems
• Review and correct existing problem solutions to ensure they meet the same rigorous standard
• Produce fully human-verified reference solutions that can be used to evaluate advanced language models
• Work independently and asynchronously with minimal oversight
• Communicate progress and blockers clearly in written form

Requirements

• First-author or sole-author publications in top mathematics journals
• A doctorate or postdoctoral training from a top-20 global institution in mathematics or a related STEM field
• A competitive fellowship or honor such as the Clay Research Fellowship or NSF Graduate Research Fellowship
• An NSF CAREER award or comparable grant held as a named Principal Investigator or Co-Investigator
• Current or recent experience in an active research role, such as a PhD candidate or industry research mathematician

Pay

$80-$135 per hour, with weekly payouts via Stripe or Wise.

Schedule

Fully remote, asynchronous work with a typical commitment of ~10 hours per week over an 8-10 week project window. Independent contractor engagement.

Benefits

• Independent contractor status with opportunities for project extensions
• Weekly payouts via Stripe or Wise
• Fully remote and flexible schedule
• Opportunities to contribute to future projects
