Overview

Turing is seeking PhD-level researchers in physics to test the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs). You’ll create physics problems, analyze model responses, and identify gaps in logic or understanding. The goal is to measure how well these models handle abstract thinking and structured problem-solving.

Responsibilities

• Create physics problems and review how the AI solves them.
• Share insights on how well the model understands complex reasoning and logical steps.
• Provide clear, constructive feedback with examples.
• Work independently with stable computer and internet access.
• Engage in tasks such as developing problems in physics and evaluating model responses.

Qualifications

• Currently pursuing or have completed a Ph.D. in Physics, Applied Physics, or a related field.
• Strong research and analytical skills.
• Strong written communication, especially in remote settings.
• Able to provide clear, constructive feedback with examples.
• Comfortable working independently.
• Stable computer and internet access.

Note: This position is open only to candidates who have completed or are currently pursuing a Ph.D.; applications that do not meet this criterion will not be considered.

Time Commitment & Contract Details

• Commitments Required: at least 4 hours per day and minimum 20 hours per week with 4 hours of overlap with PST. (Options: 20 hrs/week, 30 hrs/week, or 40 hrs/week)
• Engagement type: Contractor assignment/freelancer (no medical/paid leave)
• Duration of contract: 1 month; expected start date is next week

Selection Process

Task-based assessment for shortlisted candidates, followed by a contract offer with defined timelines and workload.
