What We Offer

~1 min read

Join a cutting-edge AI research initiative focused on advancing the next generation of mathematical reasoning systems. This opportunity is designed for accomplished mathematicians who are passionate about applying their research expertise to improve frontier AI models capable of solving complex mathematical problems at a professional research level.

Rather than working on textbook-style mathematics, you'll help train AI systems to reason across advanced areas such as number theory, algebra, algebraic geometry, topology, analysis, partial differential equations, probability, combinatorics, dynamical systems, logic, representation theory, mathematical physics, theoretical computer science, statistics, and related disciplines.

As part of a collaborative team of researchers, you'll contribute directly to the development of AI models that perform sophisticated mathematical reasoning.

Requirements

~2 min read

Candidates should meet several of the following criteria:

First-author or sole-author publications in leading mathematics journals such as:

Annals of Mathematics
Inventiones Mathematicae
Journal of the American Mathematical Society
Acta Mathematica
Duke Mathematical Journal
Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics
Geometry & Topology
Journal of the European Mathematical Society (JEMS)
Geometric and Functional Analysis (GAFA)
Advances in Mathematics
Probability Theory and Related Fields

Candidates from adjacent disciplines with publications in premier venues such as STOC, FOCS, SODA, or Annals of Statistics are also encouraged to apply.
PhD or postdoctoral training in Mathematics or a closely related STEM discipline from a globally recognized institution.
Recognition through prestigious fellowships, scholarships, or honors, such as:

Clay Research Fellowship
NSF Graduate Research Fellowship
NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship
Sloan Research Fellowship
Packard Fellowship
Simons Fellowship or Simons Investigatorship
AMS Centennial Fellowship
Hertz Fellowship
Marshall or Rhodes Scholarship
New Horizons in Mathematics Prize
Salem Prize
Ramanujan Prize

Earlier-career applicants may instead demonstrate exceptional achievement through Putnam Fellow recognition or an International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) medal.
Experience serving as Principal Investigator or Co-Investigator on competitive research grants (e.g., NSF CAREER Award or equivalent).
Current or recent experience as a:

PhD candidate
Postdoctoral researcher
Faculty member
Research mathematician
Principal researcher
Industry research scientist

Outstanding senior PhD candidates and recent graduates with exceptional publication records are strongly encouraged to apply.

Responsibilities
