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. The goal is to measure how well these models handle abstract thinking and structured problem-solving.

Responsibilities

Create Biology problems and review how the AI solves them, sharing insights on how well it understands complex reasoning and logical steps.
Evaluate the logic behind a researcher’s claims about immune signaling. For instance, determine which interpretations of statements like IL-2 promoting T cell proliferation, IFN-γ activating macrophages, and IL-10 being described as pro-inflammatory reflect accurate biological functions.
Review a student’s proposed strategy to study plant stress genes, including CRISPR knockouts, qPCR for expression analysis, and phenotypic observation under drought. Assess the reasoning behind each method and suggest refinements.
Provide clear, constructive feedback with examples and strong written communication, especially in remote settings.
Work independently with a stable computer and internet access.

Qualifications

Currently enrolled in or have completed a Ph.D. or Postdoctoral 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.

Time Commitment & Contract Details

Commitments: at least 4 hours per day and a minimum of 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: 1 month; expected start date next week.
Selection process: Task-based assessment for shortlisted candidates, followed by a contract offer with defined timelines and workload.
