Summary: The Physics Expert role involves creating advanced Olympiad-style physics problems aimed at challenging AI models and evaluating their solutions for accuracy and rigor. Candidates should possess a Master's or PhD in Physics or relevant Olympiad experience, with strong LaTeX skills. The position is remote, requiring a commitment of 10 to 40 hours per week. High standards for problem difficulty and mathematical precision are essential.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Write original, advanced Olympiad-style physics problems designed to challenge frontier AI models.
  • Evaluate AI-generated solutions for correctness, clarity, rigor, and presentation quality.
  • Identify logical gaps, incomplete reasoning, or insufficiently rigorous proofs.
  • Provide clear, concise, and correct solutions with step-by-step reasoning using LaTeX formatting.
  • Maintain exceptionally high standards for problem difficulty, precision, and mathematical rigor.

Key Skills:

  • Master’s or PhD in Physics (or a related field), or experience as a participant or medalist in physics Olympiads.
  • Strong proficiency in writing and formatting technical documents using LaTeX.
  • Deep understanding of core theoretical and experimental physics concepts.
  • Ability to clearly articulate derivations, reasoning, and assumptions in written form.
  • Strong skill in evaluating the rigor, novelty, and complexity of physics problems.
  • High attention to detail when verifying solutions and logical consistency.
  • Comfortable working independently in a remote, research-driven environment.
