Job Details
- Required Skills
- PythonGit
Requirements
- PhD in Physics, or a closely related field, with postdoctoral-level research maturity.
- Proven ability to reason at a research level in physics and rigorously critique proofs, derivations, and scientific arguments.
- Strong scientific programming skills (Python) and experience with research tooling (Git, LaTeX).
- Clear, precise communicator with a strong ability to translate complex ideas into sharp critiques, guidance, and evaluation frameworks.
- Comfortable working in a fast-moving, cross-functional environment with researchers and engineers.
- Mission-driven, with an entrepreneurial mindset and interest in tackling foundational problems in science.
Responsibilities
- Review and critique the model's reasoning in physics, identifying subtle conceptual errors and invalid assumptions.
- Provide clear corrections, alternative derivations, and minimal counterexamples to shape what “good” scientific reasoning looks like.
- Translate domain expertise into actionable improvements for model behaviour, reasoning patterns, and tool usage.
- Create gold-standard solutions and reference outputs for training and fine-tuning.
- Rank and evaluate model outputs to improve scientific reasoning through expert feedback loops.
- Help build and operate our external Collaborators program, coordinating expert review cycles and integrating feedback into training and evaluation.
- Contribute to high-quality research outputs (benchmarks, datasets, technical reports, preprints) that meet publishable standards.
