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. We are seeking theoretical physicists to run research campaigns on open problems with AI systems, and to make the results verifiable.
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 and Responsibilities
Run research programs on open problems. Take a problem in your domain, decompose it into questions AI systems can attack, direct the systems, and judge what comes back. You own the problem from formulation to result.
Convert frontier physics problems into machine-verifiable tasks. The hard work is encoding what counts as a correct answer (physical validity, exact bounds, conservation laws)
