About this job

This contract role asks mathematicians to turn informal proofs into machine-checkable Lean 4 code, helping AI systems learn to reason about formal mathematics. It suits researchers with strong proof-writing backgrounds who enjoy structuring arguments for proof assistants and examining where automated provers fail.

What you'll do

  • Translate informal mathematical proofs into Lean 4 with clear structure and correctness
  • Analyze proofs to identify gaps, hidden assumptions, and formalizable substructures
  • Build formalizations that test the limits of existing proof assistants
  • Write readable, reproducible proof scripts following proof assistant conventions
