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 offers an exciting opportunity to work on fine-tuning large language models by applying deep analytical skills and expertise in physics. Candidates with a strong foundation in physics—from advanced engineering entrance levels through graduate and PhD concepts—will thrive by breaking down complex phenomena into clear, step-by-step reasoning. The position involves probing model limitations and leveraging cutting-edge AI tools to support long-term career growth.

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 face difficulties such as symbolic manipulation, abstraction, and multi-step reasoning.
- Benchmark Definition: Assist in defining and building new evaluation benchmarks across physics curricula, ranging from early undergraduate to PhD-level topics.

Required Qualifications:
- Strong analytical, research, and problem-solving skills combined with excellent English comprehension.
- Exceptional structured written communication skills, with 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.
- 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 advantageous but not mandatory.
- Flexible contractor engagement with a commitment of at least 4 hours per day, up to 40 hours per week, including 4 hours of overlap with Pacific Standard Time (PST).
- The contract duration is 12 weeks, offering a focused and impactful project timeline.

Candidates shortlisted for this position will receive a Job Interest Form as part of the evaluation process. Final selections will be contacted with further onboarding details and next steps. This role provides a unique chance to contribute to setting benchmarks in AI capabilities within advanced physical sciences while developing expertise in frontier AI technologies.
