Job description

Overview

Are you passionate about solving challenging chemistry problems?

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, review how the AI solves them, and share insights on how well it understands complex reasoning and logical steps.
Take on tasks such as evaluating the logic behind a researcher’s claims about immune signaling (e.g., IL-2 promotes T cell proliferation; IFN-γ activates macrophages; IL-10 is described as pro-inflammatory) and determining which interpretations 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.
Able to provide clear, constructive feedback with examples; strong written communication, especially in remote settings; comfortable working independently; and 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.

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. (Three 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; next week is the expected start date
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.
