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. This role offers an exciting opportunity to work on fine-tuning large language models by applying deep analytical skills and a strong physics background. The ideal candidate will have a solid understanding of physics concepts ranging from advanced engineering entrance levels to graduate and PhD-level topics, with the ability to clearly articulate complex phenomena through step-by-step reasoning. You will contribute directly to identifying model limitations and gain experience 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 objectives, 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 curricula from early undergraduate to PhD-level topics.

Required Qualifications:
- Educational background or Doctorate in Physics, Applied Physics, or a closely related technical field.
- Strong analytical, research, and problem-solving skills paired with excellent English comprehension.
- Exceptional structured written communication skills, capable of providing constructive feedback and detailed annotations in a remote work environment.
- Ability to think laterally and creatively to construct novel scenarios and evaluate 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.

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 engagement duration is 12 weeks, providing a focused opportunity to contribute to frontier AI research and development.

Evaluation Process:
Shortlisted candidates will receive a Job Interest Form. Those selected for final consideration will be contacted with further details, including onboarding instructions.

This role is ideal for candidates passionate about physics and AI, eager to apply their expertise to help set new standards in AI capabilities within the physical sciences domain.
