This is a short-term, high impact, remote opportunity for those excited about applying their expertise to frontier AI research, with the possibility of extension based on performance. 2. Key Responsibilities - Write original & advanced IPhO-style physics problems to challenge frontier AI models - Evaluate AI-generated solutions for correctness, clarity and style and identify where models fail - Identify logical flaws, incomplete reasoning, or insufficiently-rigorous proofs - Provide clear, concise, and correct solutions & chain of thought reasoning using proper LaTeX formatting - Maintain extremely high standards of precision and problem difficulty 3. Required Qualifications Note: Applicants must be highly proficient in writing and formatting documents using LaTeX You are a good fit for the project if you have any of the following experiences: - Olympiad medalist, problem setter, coach, or selection committee member in IPhO (preferred) or equivalent competitions (RPhO, CPhO, IPhO TST, APhO, EuPhO, USAPhO, BPhO, INPhO, JPhO, UPC, IYPT, CUPT) - Or as a graduate researcher or educator experienced in designing advanced conceptual or quantitative problems in the sciences. Other qualifications: - Deep understanding of your domain's core theoretical and experimental concepts - Ability to articulate reasoning and derivations clearly in written form - Strong ability to evaluate the rigor and complexity of physics problems - Rigorous attention to detail in verifying solutions 4. More About the Opportunity - Expected commitment: 20 hours/week minimum; up to 40 hours/week available - Approximate project length: :2 months, with extension potential - Rolling start dates; setup typically within 12 days of approval 5. Compensation & Contract Terms - $60-80/hr dependent on experience + performance - Open to contributors worldwide (English proficiency required) - Independent contractor engagement - Payments issued weekly via Stripe Connect 6. Application Process - Submit your resume or CV highlighting physics background and relevant achievements - Complete a brief interview (2030 minutes) - Submit a short form detailing your experience writing problems and competing in physics competitions - Selected applicants will be contacted within a few days with next steps 7.
