• Design and solve challenging Physics problems to probe the limitations of large language models.
• Create clear, high-quality, step-by-step solutions with well-articulated reasoning.
• Collaborate with LLM researchers to align problems with evaluation goals, especially in areas where models typically struggle (e.g., abstraction, multi-step reasoning, symbolic manipulation).
• Help define new evaluation benchmarks based on Physics curricula spanning early undergraduate to PhD-level topics.

Requirements:

• Qualification: Candidates currently pursuing a Ph.D./Postdoctoral degree in Physics, Applied Physics, or a related field are eligible to apply.
• Analytical Skills: Good research and analytical skills
