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
IAO-style astronomy problems
to challenge frontier AI models - Evaluate AI-generated solutions for correctness, clarity, and reasoning quality, and identify where models fail - Identify logical flaws, incomplete reasoning, or insufficiently rigorous derivations - Provide clear, concise, and correct

Other qualifications :
Deep understanding of
core theoretical and observational concepts
in astronomy and astrophysics - Ability to articulate reasoning and derivations clearly in written form - Strong ability to evaluate the rigor and complexity of astronomy problems - Rigorous attention to detail in verifying solutions ### 4\. More About the Opportunity -
