Remote Physics Expert (PhD)

Turing, headquartered in San Francisco, California, is a global leader in accelerating frontier AI research and a trusted partner for enterprises deploying advanced AI systems. The company supports its customers by providing high-quality data, advanced training pipelines, and access to top AI researchers specializing in coding, reasoning, STEM, multilinguality, multimodality, and agents. Turing also helps enterprises move beyond AI proofs of concept to build proprietary intelligence systems that deliver reliable performance and measurable business impact.

In this role, you will contribute to fine-tuning large language models, such as ChatGPT, by leveraging your strong analytical and English comprehension skills. The ideal candidate will have a solid foundation in Physics at a level comparable to engineering entrance exams and graduate or PhD programs. You will be expected to simplify complex Physics concepts into clear, concise explanations and work efficiently. This position offers the opportunity to enhance your analytical skills using AI tools, helping you future-proof your career in an AI-driven world.

Key Responsibilities:
- Design and solve challenging Physics problems to test the limits of large language models.
- Develop clear, high-quality, step-by-step solutions with well-articulated reasoning.
- Collaborate closely with LLM researchers to align problem sets with evaluation goals, focusing on areas where models typically face difficulties, such as abstraction, multi-step reasoning, and symbolic manipulation.
- Assist in defining new evaluation benchmarks based on Physics curricula ranging from early undergraduate to PhD-level topics.

Required Qualifications:
- Strong research and analytical skills with the ability to break down complex problems.
- Ability to provide constructive feedback and detailed annotations on model outputs.
- Creative and lateral thinking skills to approach problems from different perspectives.
- Excellent structured communication and collaboration skills, especially in a remote work environment.
- Self-motivated and capable of working independently with minimal supervision.
- Access to a reliable desktop or laptop with a stable internet connection.

Preferred Qualifications and Benefits:
Candidates currently pursuing a Ph.D. or postdoctoral degree in Physics, Applied Physics, or related fields are highly encouraged to apply. A structured and logical approach to analyzing and solving complex Physics problems is essential. The ability to explain Physics concepts clearly using simple language, visuals, and sound reasoning will be a significant advantage.

Working with Turing offers the flexibility of a fully remote work environment and the chance to engage with cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading large language model companies. There is potential for contract extensions based on performance and project requirements.
