We are seeking researchers with strong mathematical and analytical backgrounds to assist in fine-tuning and evaluating large language models (LLMs). Your work will help LLMs improve their ability to understand and solve complex math problems, such as multi-step algebra or logic questions.

Research Objectives:

As a contributor to this research-focused initiative, you may be asked to complete the following or similar tasks:

Determine the number of real 5×55 \times 55×5 symmetric matrices of rank 2 whose entries are only 0 or 1.
How many subsets of a 10-element set exist such that the characteristic vector of each subset has Hamming weight exactly 3?
How many distinct 10-digit numbers exist where the sum of the digits is divisible by 3, and each digit is either 0 or 1?

These tasks are designed to find model weaknesses and improve training and evaluation workflows.

Candidate Profile:

Academic Background: Enrolled in or completed a PhD/Postdoc in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, or a related field.
Analytical Skills: Strong ability to solve advanced math problems with clear and structured reasoning.
Communication Skills: Clarity in explaining complex topics and providing feedback with precision.
Research Independence: Ability to work independently in a remote research environment and participate actively in team discussions..
Technical Setup: Access to a reliable computer and internet setup to participate in remote assignments.

Note: This position is open only to candidates who have completed or are currently pursuing a Ph.D.; applications that do not meet this criterion will not be considered.

Time Commitment & Contract Details:

Commitments Required: at least 4 hours per day and minimum 20 hours per week with 4 hours of overlap with PST. (We have 3 options of time commitment: 20 hrs/week, 30 hrs/week, or 40 hrs/week)
Engagement type: Contractor assignment/freelancer (no medical/paid leave)
Duration of contract: 1 month; [expected start date is next week]

Selection Process: Task-based assessment for shortlisted candidates, followed by a contract offer with defined timelines and workload.
