Eligibility Requirement
You will need to fill a short form in order to be eligible for this role:
Consider the biggest open questions in your field, for example, the 10–15 questions where a breakthrough would make headline news. From this set, select those closest to your area of expertise: questions within or adjacent to your specialty or those where you could mentor an expert toward meaningful progress.
Specifically, We Are Looking For Questions Where
A major breakthrough would be widely recognized as transformative (e.g., headline news in Nature, Science, or top field-specific venues)
Meaningful progress is plausible within the next decade (not purely speculative or dependent on unknown technology)
The question is concrete enough that progress can be evaluated (avoid umbrella questions like “How does the ML work?”)
You have the relevant expertise to assemble a comprehensive knowledge base directly relevant to the question
