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, and STEM 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 cutting-edge projects involving the fine-tuning of large language models, leveraging a strong foundation in physics and analytical skills. The ideal candidate will have expertise ranging from advanced engineering entrance concepts to graduate and PhD-level physics, with the ability to deconstruct complex phenomena into clear, logical steps. This position involves probing model limitations and utilizing frontier AI tools to build a future-proof 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 reasoning and articulation.
- 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 spanning physics curricula from early undergraduate to PhD-level topics.

Required Qualifications:
- Strong analytical, research, and problem-solving skills with excellent English comprehension.
- Exceptional structured written communication abilities, capable of providing constructive feedback and detailed annotations in a remote work environment.
- Strong lateral thinking skills to create novel scenarios and assess 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.
- Educational background or Doctorate in Physics, Applied Physics, or a closely related 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.
- Commitment of at least 4 hours per day, up to 40 hours per week, with a minimum of 4 hours overlapping Pacific Standard Time (PST).
- Engagement type is contractor-based with a duration of 12 weeks.
- Candidates who are shortlisted will be invited to complete a Job Interest Form, followed by further communication regarding onboarding and next steps for final selection.

This role is ideal for individuals passionate about physics and AI, seeking to contribute to pioneering AI research while developing their expertise in a dynamic, remote work environment.
