Head of Physics
Overview
Physical Superintelligence is a startup with roots at Google, NVIDIA, Harvard, Meta, MIT, Oxford, Johns Hopkins, Cambridge, and the Perimeter Institute building AI systems to discover new physics at scale.
Our mission is to discover and commercialize transformative physics breakthroughs at scale with artificial superintelligence, safely, verifiably, and for broad public benefit.
The last century's golden age of physics gave us transistors, lasers, and nuclear energy. We believe artificial superintelligence will unlock the next one. We're creating the infrastructure to industrialize scientific discovery and usher in this new era.
We have one product: new physics, at scale.
Role
We are seeking a Head of Physics to lead the theoretical physicists who run our research programs on open problems, and to scale AI-driven physics discovery beyond what any individual scientist can carry.
Responsibilities
Physics is the organization responsible for running research programs on open problems in theoretical physics and for the scientific assets the rest of the company depends on: verified problem sets, and evaluation and verification support for AI training. Physics makes physics legible to AI systems and AI output trustworthy
