What We Offer

~1 min read

Join a leading AI research initiative developing the next generation of AI systems for scientific reasoning. We are seeking accomplished Physics Research Collaborators to help improve AI models that reason across advanced areas of physics at the level of active researchers—not textbooks.

This role is ideal for researchers with expertise in fields such as theoretical physics, condensed matter physics, quantum information, particle physics, high-energy theory, astrophysics, cosmology, atomic, molecular and optical (AMO) physics, plasma physics, biophysics, statistical and computational physics, or mathematical physics. Your research experience will directly contribute to building AI systems capable of solving complex scientific problems with greater accuracy and rigor.

This is a remote, part-time engagement requiring up to 20 hours per week.

✓Help shape the future of AI-powered scientific reasoning.

✓Apply your research expertise to real-world AI evaluation challenges.

✓Collaborate with a network of distinguished researchers across multiple physics disciplines.

✓Influence the development of AI systems capable of solving frontier scientific problems.
