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 clients by providing high-quality data, advanced training pipelines, and expert AI researchers specializing in coding, reasoning, STEM, multilinguality, multimodality, and agents. Turing helps transform AI from experimental concepts into reliable, proprietary intelligence systems that deliver measurable business impact and drive lasting results.

In this role, you will contribute to projects focused on fine-tuning large language models (such as ChatGPT) by leveraging your strong analytical skills and proficiency in English comprehension. The ideal candidate will have a solid foundation in Physics, comparable to the level expected in engineering entrance exams and graduate or PhD-level programs. You will be responsible for simplifying complex Physics concepts into clear, concise explanations while working efficiently. This position also offers the opportunity to enhance your analytical capabilities by learning to utilize AI tools, helping you future-proof your career in an AI-driven world.

Key Responsibilities:
- Design and solve challenging Physics problems to test the limitations of large language models.
- Develop clear, high-quality, step-by-step solutions with well-articulated reasoning.
- Collaborate closely with LLM researchers to ensure problem alignment with evaluation goals, particularly in areas where models typically 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 approach problems methodically.
- Capability to provide constructive feedback and detailed annotations.
- Creative and lateral thinking skills to develop innovative problem-solving approaches.
- Excellent structured communication and collaboration skills, especially in a remote work environment.
- Self-motivated and able to work independently with minimal supervision.
- Access to a desktop or laptop with a reliable internet connection.

Preferred Qualifications and Benefits:
Candidates currently pursuing a Ph.D. or postdoctoral degree in Physics, Applied Physics, or related fields are encouraged to apply. The ability to analyze and solve complex Physics problems using a structured and logical approach is highly valued. Additionally, candidates should be skilled at explaining Physics concepts clearly using simple language, visuals, and sound physics reasoning.
