About this role
Contribute to the advancement of AI systems designed for scientific and mathematical reasoning by joining a select group of accomplished mathematicians. This role offers the opportunity to engage with cutting-edge models that require expertise in various fields of mathematics, including number theory, algebra, topology, analysis, and more. Your insights will help shape the future of AI by addressing complex mathematical challenges at a research level.
Key Responsibilities- Author and review challenging mathematics problems used to train and evaluate advanced AI models.
- Evaluate model outputs on tasks such as proof construction, verification, problem-solving, formalization, and conjecture exploration.
- Identify areas where current models fall short, focusing on subtle errors that a working mathematician would recognize.
- Collaborate with a small program team and other senior contributors.
- First-author or sole-author publications in prestigious journals such as Annals of Mathematics, Journal of the AMS, or equivalent top-tier venues.
- Doctoral or postdoctoral training at a top-20 global institution in mathematics or STEM.
- Competitive fellowships and honors, including the Clay Research Fellowship, NSF GRFP, or equivalent recognitions.
- Experience as a named PI or co-PI on NSF CAREER or other grants.
- Currently or recently engaged in an active research role, such as PhD candidate, postdoc, instructor, faculty, or industry research mathematician.
Outstanding senior PhD students and recent graduates with strong publication records are encouraged to apply, as the depth of research output is more critical than years of experience.
Work Terms- Part-time commitment of 8 to 20 hours per week.
- No fixed end date; contributors remain engaged as long as their expertise is needed.
- Hourly compensation ranging from $90 to $150, reflecting research seniority and credentials.
