About the role
Key responsibilities & impact- Work on research-level physics problems in the applicant’s specific subfield
- Create, solve, review, or audit physics challenges depending on publication-record fit
- Produce complete written reasoning for independent specialist verification
- Apply methods involving special function analysis, integrability, combinatorics, or geometric analysis
- Submit representative papers, author position, and demonstrated methods for each selected research area
- Participate in onboarding or a short live alignment call to agree on the area and assignment
- Complete a 30 to 45 minute assessment if required
- Collaborate on projects that train and enhance frontier AI systems
Requirements
What you’ll need- PhD in mathematical physics, theoretical physics, or mathematics (hard requirement)
