Job description

Overview

Remote Chemistry Researcher (PhD) - 34441

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

Create chemistry problems, review how the AI solves them, and share insights on how well it understands complex reasoning and logical steps.
Develop problems such as: a coal gasifier at high temperature producing synthesis gas; estimate equilibrium gas concentrations; and reactor modeling to estimate maximum temperature with known operating conditions.
Contribute by providing clear, constructive feedback with examples
Communicate findings effectively in a remote setting
Work independently with stable computer and internet access

Qualifications

Currently pursuing or have completed a Ph.D. 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

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
