We are partnering with leading AI labs on a new benchmark for scientific computing. You will author original, executable research problems that today's frontier models cannot solve.
Domains - depth required in at least two subdomains (with a coding focus)
- Mathematics — numerical linear algebra, computational mechanics, computational finance

- Source your own material: a published paper, a Kaggle dataset, an open-source repository, or a scenario you design
- Write scientific prompts based on the input
- Build the grading criteria that define a correct answer
- Calibrate against frontier models — a task ships only when strong models fail it more often than they succeed
Required
- PhD in mathematics, applied mathematics, computational mathematics, or a closely related field
- Demonstrated depth in at least two of the following subdomains: numerical linear algebra, computational mechanics, computational finance
- Working proficiency in Python or R for scientific computing
- Comfortable with Git/GitHub and running code in Docker — authoring runs through a pull-request workflow with automated quality checks
Preferred
- Publications in peer-reviewed journals
- Prior scientific software or research engineering experience
Engagement
- Duration: 6 weeks
- Commitment: part-time, 20+ hours per week
- Start date: immediate
Process
- Upload your resume and application form
- A 25-minute conversational interview covering your background, experience, and motivations
