## **1\. Role Overview** Mercor is collaborating with a leading AI research lab on a project to advance frontier physics problem-solving. We are looking for physics experts who hold a **PhD or Master’s degree**, or have experience participating in the **International Physics Olympiad (IPhO)**. The goal of this project is to **create novel, clear, and challenging Olympiad-style physics problems** that cause the frontier AI models to fail (i.e. generate an incorrect response) and support the training of cutting-edge AI models. This is a short-term, high impact, remote opportunity for those excited about applying their expertise to frontier AI research, with the possibility of extension based on performance. ## **2\. Key Responsibilities** - Write **original & advanced IPhO-style physics** problems to challenge frontier AI models - Evaluate AI-generated solutions for **correctness, clarity and style** and identify where models fail - Identify **logical flaws, incomplete reasoning, or insufficiently-rigorous proofs** - Provide **clear, concise, and correct solutions & chain of thought reasoning** using proper LaTeX formatting - Maintain extremely high standards of precision and problem difficulty ## **3\. Required Qualifications** **Note: Applicants must be highly proficient in writing and formatting documents using LaTeX** You are a good fit for the project if you have any of the following experiences: - Have a **Master’s or PhD in physics** (or a related field), or are an **Olympiad participant or medalist** in the IPhO (preferred) or equivalent competitions (RPhO, CPhO, APhO, EuPhO, USAPhO, BPhO, INPhO, JPhO, UPC, IYPT, CUPT). **Other qualifications:** - Deep understanding of your domain’s **core theoretical and experimental concepts** - Ability to **articulate reasoning and derivations** clearly in written form - Strong ability to evaluate the rigor and complexity of physics problems - Rigorous attention to detail in verifying solutions ## **4\. More About the Opportunity** - Expected commitment: 20 hours/week minimum; up to 40 hours/week available - Approximate project length: ~2 months, with extension potential - Rolling start dates; setup typically within 1–2 days of approval ## **5\. Compensation & Contract Terms** - $60-80/hr dependent on experience + performance - Open to contributors worldwide (English proficiency required) - Independent contractor engagement - Payments issued weekly via Stripe Connect ## **6\. Application Process** - Submit your resume or CV highlighting physics background and relevant achievements - Complete a brief interview (20–30 minutes) - Submit a short form detailing your experience writing problems and competing in physics competitions - Selected applicants will be contacted within a few days with next steps ## **7\. About Mercor** - Mercor is a talent marketplace that connects top experts with leading AI labs and research organizations. - Our investors include Benchmark, General Catalyst, Adam D’Angelo, Larry Summers, and Jack Dorsey. - Thousands of professionals across domains like law, creatives, engineering, and research have partnered with Mercor to contribute to frontier projects shaping the next era of AI.
