What the work is

Role Overview

In this role, you will be working on projects to help fine-tune large language models (like ChatGPT) using your strong analytical and english comprehension skills.
The ideal candidate should have a solid foundation in Physics, particularly at the level expected in engineering entrance exams, as well as graduate or PhD-level programs.

You should be able to break down complex Physics concepts into simple, clear explanations and work efficiently.
The projects will also help you learn how to leverage AI to be a better analyst. This is your chance to future-proof your career in an AI-first world!

What does day-to-day look like

Design and solve challenging Physics problems to probe the limitations of large language models.
Create clear, high-quality, step-by-step solutions with well-articulated reasoning.

Collaborate with LLM researchers to align problems with evaluation goals, especially in areas where models typically struggle (e.g., abstraction, multi-step reasoning, symbolic manipulation).
Help define new evaluation benchmarks based on Physics curricula spanning early undergraduate to PhD-level topics.
