FirstPrinciples Foundation is offering an AI-Native Physicist Fellowship for researchers who want to use frontier AI in an ambitious physics project and, importantly, make the research workflow itself part of the output. The fellowship is designed around a simple but demanding idea: the chosen fellow will pursue their own physics research project while also documenting how AI is used to accelerate discovery, what worked, what failed, and how results were verified. The program emphasizes rigorous...
