About the Role

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.

What You'll Do

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.

You're a Good Fit If You

Required skills: Classical Mechanics, Electromagnetism and Optics, Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics
Analytical Skills: Good research and analytical skills
Feedback Skills: Ability to provide constructive feedback and detailed annotations.
Creative Thinking: Creative and lateral thinking abilities.
Communication: Excellent structured communication and collaboration skills in a remote setting.
Independence: Self-motivated and able to work independently in a remote setting.
Technical Setup: Desktop/Laptop set up with a good internet connection.
Prefered Qualification:
Candidates currently pursuing a Master’s/Ph.D./Postdoctoral degree in Physics, Applied Physics, or a related field are eligible and encouraged to apply.
