About the role

  • 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.

Responsibilities

  • Collaborate directly with PSI's founding team and technical leadership on high-impact research at the intersection of physics and AI.

Requirements

  • Physics PhD or advanced PhD candidate (all but dissertation), with deep domain expertise in at least one physics field.
  • Demonstrated hands-on experience with modern AI and ML, not just curiosity.
  • You have built things, shipped models, or contributed to working systems.
  • You can write production-quality code, not just notebooks.

Nice to have

  • Experience with LLM fine-tuning, RLHF, or other post-training methods.
  • Background in agentic AI systems or multi-step reasoning.
  • Published ML research or significant open-source contributions.
  • Track record of crossing disciplinary boundaries between physics, ML, and software engineering.
  • This role is based in Boston.
  • You must have US work authorization for the duration of the fellowship
  • we do not sponsor visas for fellowship positions.
  • This role may involve access to information subject to U.S. export control regulations.
