Produce "golden trajectories" for hard physics problems: complete, step-by-step solution walkthroughs where every reasoning step is sound, the final answer is correct, and the work is organized around a sensible upfront plan. You'll work in Studio, iterate with a frontier LLM to draft and refine the reasoning, and produce trajectories that are clean enough to use as training data. The problems are provably hard — we screen them by running a frontier LLM on each problem five times and requiring it to fail at least once.
We need physicists with a theoretical or computational specialization in one of:
We are not looking for experimentalists, software engineers, or data scientists without a physics PhD background.
Around 15 hours per week, roughly one to two tasks per week. Each task averages about 7 hours of writer time.
