Remote Physics Expert

Turing is a rapidly growing AI company focused on advancing and deploying powerful AI systems. The company collaborates with leading AI labs to push the boundaries of model capabilities in areas such as reasoning, coding, multimodality, multilinguality, STEM, and frontier knowledge. These advancements are then applied to develop real-world AI solutions that address critical business challenges. This role offers the opportunity to work on innovative projects aimed at fine-tuning large language models, utilizing strong analytical skills and a deep understanding of physics. Candidates with a solid foundation in physics—from advanced engineering entrance levels to graduate and PhD concepts—will thrive by breaking down complex phenomena into clear, logical steps. The position involves identifying model limitations and leveraging cutting-edge AI tools, providing a unique chance to future-proof one’s career in AI.

Key Responsibilities:
- Problem Creation & Solutioning: Design and solve challenging physics problems that test the limits of large language models.
- Authoring Gold-Standard Data: Develop clear, high-quality, step-by-step solutions with detailed reasoning and explanations.
- Research Collaboration: Partner with LLM researchers to align task designs with evaluation objectives, focusing on areas where models face difficulties such as symbolic manipulation, abstraction, and multi-step reasoning.
- Benchmark Definition: Assist in defining and building new evaluation benchmarks covering physics topics from early undergraduate to PhD levels.

Required Qualifications:
- Educational background in Physics, Applied Physics, or a closely related technical field, with preference for candidates holding a Doctorate.
- Strong analytical, research, and problem-solving skills, coupled with excellent English comprehension.
- Exceptional structured written communication skills, capable of providing detailed annotations and constructive feedback in a remote work environment.
- Ability to think laterally and creatively to construct novel scenarios and evaluate complex reasoning pathways.
- Self-motivated and able to work independently in a fast-paced, remote-first setting.
- Access to a personal desktop or laptop with a stable, high-speed internet connection.

Preferred Qualifications and Benefits:
- Experience in AI evaluation, data annotation, content review, quality assurance, or related analytical roles is advantageous but not mandatory.
- The role requires a commitment of at least 4 hours per day, up to 40 hours per week, with a minimum of 4 hours overlapping with Pacific Standard Time (PST).
- Engagement is on a contractor basis for a duration of 12 weeks.
