Research Scientist, Mathematical Sciences

• Hold a current or recent academic position in mathematical sciences (mathematics, theoretical physics, theoretical computer science) or a related field

• Regularly use frontier models in their own research

• Move easily between theory and code, and are eager to contribute technically as well as academically

• Either know or are eager to learn modern AI and run AI experiments end-to-end

• Are strong scientific communicators

• Care about rigor and reproducibility in scientific results

This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees.

In this role, you will

• Assist in designing and building frontier AI models that are great at solving frontier mathematical sciences problems

• Build high-quality scientific datasets and synthetic data pipelines (symbolic, numeric, and simulator-based)

• Design reinforcement and grading signals for mathematical sciences and run reinforcement learning/optimization loops to improve model reasoning

• Define and run evals for scientific reasoning, derivations, simulations, and literature grounding; track progress over time

• Partner with research labs and the academic community

• Drive adoption of frontier AI within the scientific community

• Uphold high standards for safety, data governance, and reproducibility

You might thrive in this role if you

• Are passionate about pushing the boundaries of your field using AI

• Have used ChatGPT to do calculations and prove or improve lemmas in your field of study

• Communicate clearly to both scientists and AI engineers; you like collaborating across teams and with academia

Nice to have

• Open-source contributions to mathematical science or AI tooling

• Experience building or curating domain datasets and benchmarks

• Experience engaging a research community (teaching, workshops, tutorials, standards)
