About this role, in Turing's words
In this role, you will work on cutting-edge initiatives to fine-tune large language models by leveraging your deep analytical skills and mathematics expertise. The ideal candidate possesses a strong foundation in Mathematics —spanning advanced engineering entrance levels through graduate and PhD-level concepts—and the ability to break down complex phenomena into clear, step-by-step reasoning. You will play a direct role in probing model limitations while learning how to leverage frontier AI tools to future-proof your career.
What you'll do
Responsibilities
- In this role, you will help set the benchmark for AI capabilities in advanced physical sciences. Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:
- Problem Creation & Solutioning: Designing and solving challenging physics problems that test the boundaries of large language models.
- Authoring Gold-Standard Data: Creating clear, high-quality, step-by-step solutions with detailed and articulated reasoning.
- Research Collaboration: Working with LLM researchers to align task designs with evaluation goals, targeting key areas where models struggle (e.g., symbolic manipulation, abstraction, multi-step reasoning).
- Benchmark Definition: Helping define and build new evaluation benchmarks across physics curricula ranging from early undergraduate to PhD-level topics.
Candidate background
Requirements
- Core Skills: Strong analytical, research, and problem-solving skills with excellent English comprehension.
- Communication & Feedback: Exceptional structured written communication, with the ability to provide constructive feedback and detailed annotations in a remote environment.
- Analytical & Creative Thinking: Strong lateral thinking capabilities to construct novel scenarios and evaluate complex reasoning pathways.
- Independence: Self-motivated and capable of operating independently in a fast-paced, remote-first setup.
- Technical Infrastructure: Personal desktop/laptop equipped with a stable, high-speed internet connection.

What the platform publishes in general. These are not extra terms confirmed for this particular role.
- Getting paid
- Paid monthly, around the 5th, straight to your bank account, or inside Deel on projects run through Deel. Its help articles disagree on whether that is the 5th calendar day or business day. help.turing.com/articles/9691407757-project-onboarding, help.turing.com/articles/6582454854-what-if-i-haven-t-rec..., help.turing.com/articles/1226770947-project-offboarding
- Before your first paid task
- A short application, with tests on some roles. Turing's review article says an interview is typically required for all roles. Onboarding covers the terms, ID verification with a driver's license or passport, and tax and payment details. help.turing.com/articles/2020987592-apply-for-jobs-at-turing, help.turing.com/articles/9179629201-how-long-does-the-app..., help.turing.com/articles/9691407757-project-onboarding
- How much work
- Review takes from 48 hours to 6 weeks after you finish applying, and the client makes the final choice. No reply within 6 weeks usually means you were not selected. help.turing.com/articles/9179629201-how-long-does-the-app..., help.turing.com/articles/2020987592-apply-for-jobs-at-turing
- Contract
- Depending on the project, the engagement rests on Turing's Terms of Service and a Service Agreement, on Deel, or on a partner that provides the contract. help.turing.com/articles/6582454854-what-if-i-haven-t-rec...
