About this role
Role Overview:
You will design and solve challenging STEM problems to help fine-tune large language models, producing clear, step-by-step solutions and well-articulated reasoning. This role focuses on probing model limitations in areas such as abstraction, multi-step reasoning, and symbolic manipulation, and on helping define new evaluation benchmarks based on physics curricula from early undergraduate to Ph.D. level. Projects will also help you learn to use AI tools to become a stronger analyst and to future-proof your career.
Key Responsibilities:- Design and formulate challenging STEM problems that probe limitations of large language models.
- Create high-quality, step-by-step solutions with explicit, well-structured reasoning.
- Collaborate with researchers to align problems and solutions with evaluation goals, especially where models commonly struggle.
- Contribute to defining new evaluation benchmarks based on physics curricula spanning early undergraduate through Ph.D. topics.
- Strong analytical and research skills, with excellent English comprehension.
- Ability to break down complex STEM and physics concepts into simple, clear explanations.
- Experience providing constructive feedback and detailed annotations.
- Creative and lateral thinking, with a structured approach to problem solving.
- Excellent written communication and remote collaboration skills.
- Self-motivated and able to work independently in a remote setting.
- Technical setup: reliable desktop or laptop and a good internet connection.
- Ideal background: solid foundation in STEM at the level expected for engineering entrance exams and graduate or Ph.D.-level programs.
- Currently pursuing a Master’s, Ph.D., or Postdoctoral degree in STEM, Applied Physics, or a closely related field.
- Proven ability to analyze and solve complex physics problems using a logical, structured approach.
- Ability to explain STEM concepts clearly using simple language, visuals, and physics-based reasoning.
- Fully remote work.
- Engagement type: contractor assignment or freelancer, independent contractor status.
- No medical or paid leave provided as part of this contractor engagement.
- Potential for contract extension based on performance and project needs.
