that cause the frontier AI models to fail (i.e. generate an incorrect response) and support the training of cutting-edge AI models. 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 : - Have a

Master’s or PhD in physics

(or a related field), or are an

Olympiad participant or medalist

in the IPhO (preferred) or equivalent competitions (RPhO, CPhO, APhO, EuPhO, USAPhO, BPhO, INPhO, JPhO, UPC, IYPT, CUPT).

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 1–2 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 (20–30 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 ##
