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. In this role, you will contribute to fine-tuning large language models by applying your strong physics background and analytical skills. The position involves breaking down complex physical phenomena into clear, logical steps and directly probing model limitations. This opportunity allows you to engage with cutting-edge AI tools and enhance your expertise in a remote, fast-paced environment.

Key Responsibilities:
- Problem Creation & Solutioning: Design and solve challenging physics problems that push the limits of large language models.
- Authoring Gold-Standard Data: Develop clear, high-quality, step-by-step solutions with detailed reasoning to serve as benchmark data.
- Research Collaboration: Partner with LLM researchers to align task designs with evaluation goals, 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:
- Strong analytical, research, and problem-solving skills with excellent English comprehension.
- Exceptional structured written communication skills, capable of providing constructive feedback and detailed annotations in a remote setting.
- Ability to think laterally and creatively to construct novel scenarios and evaluate complex reasoning pathways.
- Self-motivated and able to work independently in a remote-first, fast-paced environment.
- Access to a personal desktop or laptop with a stable, high-speed internet connection.
- Educational background or Doctorate in Physics, Applied Physics, or an equivalent technical field.

Preferred Qualifications and Benefits:
- Experience in AI evaluation, data annotation, content review, quality assurance, or related analytical roles is preferred but not mandatory.
- Commitment of at least 4 hours per day, up to 40 hours per week, with 4 hours overlapping Pacific Standard Time (PST).
- Engagement type is contractor-based, with a contract length of 12 weeks.
- The evaluation process includes submission of a Job Interest Form for shortlisted candidates, followed by onboarding steps for those selected.

This role offers the chance to work at the forefront of AI and physical sciences, contributing to the development of benchmarks that will shape future AI capabilities. It is ideal for candidates passionate about physics and AI, seeking to apply their expertise in a dynamic and innovative environment.
