Job descriptionPhD 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.
