micro1 is engaging Research Scientists in Computer Science & Computational Physics to help advance a customer's high-impact research project by training next-generation AI systems. No prior AI experience required.

Background

micro1 is a data lab that helps AI labs & Enterprises train foundational models and agents. We provide frontier evaluations and reinforcement learning environments to improve LLM capabilities, as well as contextual evaluations to monitor and improve AI agents in enterprise settings.

Technical context

The role involves identifying open problems, new bounds, or tractable challenges in your subfield and investigating them rigorously with frontier AI models and agents, whether by attempting proofs, developing algorithms, or running simulations. You'll verify outputs through proof checking, reproduction of numerical results, or formal tools, and assess novelty and correctness against recent literature. Methods, partial results, and obstacles get documented in clear written reports, with promising directions flagged for senior researchers to pursue further.

What we're looking for

micro1 is engaging Research Scientists in Computer Science & Computational Physics to help advance a customer's high-impact research project. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required. Your domain knowledge is what matters.

Required qualifications
  • Late-stage PhD candidate, postdoctoral researcher, or early-career academic (0 to 5 years post-PhD) in computer science or mathematical/computational physics

  • Hands-on expertise in computational methods: simulation, numerical analysis, and algorithmic implementation

  • Strong publication record over the past three years, including multiple top-venue papers

Expert location
  • Accepting applications from experts based in all countries
