About this job

This role asks senior mathematicians to shape how frontier AI models handle research-level mathematics. The work centers on reviewing mathematical tasks and model outputs, writing precise problem statements and rigorous proofs, and designing benchmarks that show real progress. It suits practicing specialists with a strong research record who can tell whether an argument truly holds.

What you'll do

  • Review mathematical tasks and model outputs for gaps, unjustified steps and incorrect generalizations.
  • Write precise problem statements with rigorous reference solutions and proofs.
  • Design challenging research-level problems and evaluation sets in your specialty.
  • Turn expert mathematical judgment into explicit, teachable criteria with other researchers.

Requirements

LLM
  • PhD in mathematics, applied mathematics, statistics, operations research, or a closely related field
