Job description

Overview

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

Responsibilities

Create Biology problems and review how the AI solves them.
Share insights on how well the AI understands complex reasoning and logical steps.
Evaluate the logic behind a researcher’s claims about immune signaling, and determine which interpretations reflect accurate biological functions (e.g., IL-2, IFN-γ, IL-10).
Review a student’s proposed strategy to study plant stress genes (CRISPR knockouts, qPCR, phenotypic observation) and assess the reasoning behind each method, suggesting refinements.

Qualifications

Currently enrolled in or have completed a Ph.D. or Postdoctoral training in Biology, Biotechnology, 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

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.

About Turing

Turing is one of the world’s fastest-growing AI companies, accelerating the advancement and deployment of powerful AI systems.

Turing helps customers in two ways: Working with the world’s leading AI labs to advance frontier model capabilities in thinking, reasoning, coding, agentic behavior, multimodality, multilinguality, STEM, and frontier knowledge; and leveraging that work to build real-world AI systems that solve mission-critical priorities for companies.
