Are you passionate about solving challenging chemistry problems?

Turing is looking for PhD-level researchers in Chemistry to test the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs). You’ll create Chemistry 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

You’ll create chemistry problems, review how the AI solves them, and share insights on how well it understands complex reasoning and logical steps.
Develop tasks such as chemistry problem generation, model evaluation, and feedback with examples.

Qualifications

Currently enrolled in or have completed a Ph.D. or Postdoctoral in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Biochemistry, or a related field.
Strong research and analytical skills
Able to provide clear, constructive feedback with examples
Strong written communication, especially in remote settings
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
