Role OverviewMercor connects elite creative and technical talent with leading AI research labs. As a Nuclear Physics Specialist, you will design challenging computational problems to evaluate AI capabilities in Particle & Nuclear Physics.
What You Will Do
Develop problems requiring the use of scikit-hep and related HEP Python tools for data analysis and computations. Test and refine problems against state-of-the-art AI models to achieve target difficulty.
Why It Might Be a Fit
You will work independently to improve problem designs based on feedback and testing results. Collaborate asynchronously to ensure problem relevance and complexity.
Requirements
- Graduate-level training in a relevant STEM field (MS, PhD, or equivalent research experience)
- Proven proficiency with at least one listed scientific software library through research publications, open-source contributions, or professional work
- Strong Python skills for writing problem setups, oracle functions, and solution validators
- Ability to work independently and refine problem designs based on feedback
- Comfortable working in a Linux/terminal environment with remote compute sandboxes
