You will be responsible for simplifying complex Physics concepts into clear, concise explanations while working efficiently. This opportunity also offers a chance to enhance your analytical capabilities using AI, helping you future-proof your career in an AI-driven world.

Key Responsibilities:
- Design and solve challenging Physics problems aimed at testing the limits of large language models.
- Develop clear, high-quality, step-by-step solutions with well-articulated reasoning.
- Collaborate closely with LLM researchers to ensure problems align with evaluation goals, particularly in areas where models often struggle, 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.
- Capability to provide constructive feedback and detailed annotations.
- Creative and lateral thinking skills to approach problems innovatively.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, especially in a remote work environment.
- Self-motivated and able to work 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. The ideal candidate will demonstrate the ability to analyze and solve complex Physics problems using a structured and logical approach. Additionally, the ability to explain Physics concepts clearly using simple language, visuals, and sound reasoning is essential.

Working with Turing offers the flexibility of a fully remote environment and the opportunity 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.
