Key Responsibilities:
- Design original and challenging mathematics problems that push the reasoning capabilities of large language models, focusing on multi-step, abstract, and proof-based scenarios.
- Independently solve complex problems and produce detailed, logically structured solutions with clear justifications.
- Review solutions generated by AI models, identify mathematical inaccuracies or gaps, and provide precise feedback, annotations, and corrections.
- Contribute to the development of new evaluation benchmarks aligned with Mathematics curricula ranging from early undergraduate to PhD-level topics.
- Develop and validate Python-based solutions for computational tasks using approved scientific libraries.
- Work on theorem-prover assignments using Lean, including translating mathematical problems and proofs into formal language and verifying the correctness of formal proofs.

Required Qualifications:
- Strong analytical and research skills with the ability to break down complex mathematical concepts into simple, clear explanations.
- Ability to provide constructive feedback and detailed annotations on mathematical content.
- Creative and lateral thinking skills to approach problems innovatively.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, especially in a remote work environment.
- Self-motivated and capable of working independently with minimal supervision.
- Access to a desktop or laptop with a reliable internet connection.

Preferred Qualifications and Benefits:
Candidates pursuing or holding a Master’s, Ph.D., or Postdoctoral degree in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, or related fields are highly encouraged to apply. The ideal candidate demonstrates a structured and logical approach to solving complex math problems and can explain mathematical concepts clearly using simple language, visuals, and examples.

Freelancers at Turing enjoy the flexibility of working fully remotely while engaging in cutting-edge AI projects with leading large language model companies. There is potential for contract extensions based on performance and project requirements.
