Mathematics Domain Expert

What You'll Do7

• Review mathematical tasks and model outputs for gaps in proofs, unjustified steps, faulty generalizations, and arguments that sound convincing but fail peer review.
• Write precise problem statements along with rigorous reference solutions and proofs that match how research mathematics is practiced.
• Design hard, research-grade problems and evaluation sets within your area of specialization.
• Partner with other researchers and domain experts to convert tacit expert judgment into explicit, teachable criteria.
• Give structured, specific written feedback that model teams can act on.
• Flag reasoning failures that a generalist reviewer would miss, including subtle errors in generalization or missing cases.
• Help set the bar for what counts as a correct and complete proof across evaluation tasks.

Requirements7

• PhD in mathematics, applied mathematics, statistics, operations research, or a closely related field.
• A faculty appointment, principal investigator role, staff or senior scientist position, or comparable senior research post at a university, national laboratory, or research organization.
• Deep specialization in at least one area such as analysis and PDE, algebra and number theory, geometry and topology, probability and statistics, or applied mathematics and optimization.
• A strong record of peer-reviewed publications, with competitive fellowships or awards a welcome plus.
• Hands-on experience using large language models in your own work, plus the judgment to separate a sound argument from a plausible-sounding wrong one.
• Excellent written communication and the ability to deliver precise, well-structured feedback.
• Residence in the United States.

Who Should Apply

Practicing mathematicians with a PhD and a senior research post who can spot a flawed proof on sight should apply. Ideal candidates combine deep domain depth in one field with real LLM experience and clear technical writing.
