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 build real-world AI solutions that address critical business challenges. This role involves working on innovative projects to fine-tune large language models by applying strong analytical skills and deep physics knowledge. The ideal candidate will have a solid foundation in physics, ranging from advanced engineering entrance levels to graduate and PhD concepts, and the ability to clearly articulate complex phenomena through step-by-step reasoning. This position offers a unique opportunity to explore model limitations and engage with cutting-edge AI tools, helping to future-proof your career.

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 and well-articulated reasoning.
- Research Collaboration: Partner with LLM researchers to align task designs with evaluation goals, focusing on areas where models typically struggle, 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 or Doctorate in Physics, Applied Physics, or an equivalent technical field.
- Strong analytical, research, and problem-solving skills with excellent English comprehension.
- Exceptional structured written communication skills, including the ability to provide constructive feedback and detailed annotations in a remote work environment.
- Strong lateral thinking abilities to create novel scenarios and evaluate complex reasoning pathways.
- Self-motivated and capable of working independently in a fast-paced, remote-first setup.
- 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 preferred 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 type is contractor-based with a duration of 12 weeks.
- The evaluation process includes submission of a Job Interest Form for shortlisted candidates, followed by onboarding steps for final selections.

This position offers a chance to contribute to setting new benchmarks in AI capabilities within the physical sciences domain while working remotely with a global team.
