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.

Role Overview:

  • In this role, you will be working on projects to help fine-tune large language models (like ChatGPT) using your strong analytical and English comprehension skills.
  • The ideal candidate should have a strong foundation in Chemistry, comparable to the level required for engineering entrance exams, as well as graduate or PhD-level programs.
  • You should be able to break down complex chemistry problems into simple, clear explanations and work efficiently.
  • The projects will also help you learn how to leverage AI to be a better analyst. This is your chance to future-proof your career in an AI-first world!

What does day-to-day look like:

  • You would spend time solving a variety of advanced chemistry problems, including those at the undergraduate and graduate level, and creating detailed explanations. You’ll regularly work with a mix of chemistry content—combining text with images, chemical equations, diagrams, and visual representations. Here are a few examples of the kinds of tasks you might handle day to day:
  • Analyze and explain the steps in a complex organic reaction mechanism, providing both textual explanations and annotated chemical structures.
  • Solve a problem involving chemical equilibrium, accompanied by visual representations of reaction progress and energy diagrams, and explain the process using both text and visual aids.
  • Address challenging problems involving stoichiometry, thermodynamics, organic chemistry, and electrochemistry, typical of Engineering Entrance Exam or Engineering College level questions, utilizing a combination of textual, visual, and diagrammatic explanations.

Requirements:

  • Qualification: Candidates pursuing a Ph.D./Postdoctoral degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Biochemistry, or a related field are eligible to apply for this program.
  • Analytical Skills: Good research and analytical skills
  • Feedback Skills: Ability to provide constructive feedback and detailed annotations.
  • Creative Thinking: Creative and lateral thinking abilities.
  • Communication: Excellent structured communication and collaboration skills in a remote setting.
  • Independence: Self-motivated and able to work independently in a remote setting.
  • Technical Setup: Desktop/Laptop set up with a good internet connection.

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.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Ability to analyze and solve complex chemistry problems with a structured approach.
  • Ability to explain chemistry concepts clearly using simple language, visuals, and simulations when needed.

Perks of Freelancing With Turing:

  • Work in a fully remote environment.
  • Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI projects with leading LLM companies.
  • Potential for contract extension based on performance and project needs.

Selection Process:

  • Shortlisted experts may be asked to complete an assessment.
  • If you clear the assessment, you will be contacted for contract assignments with expected start dates, durations, and end dates.
  • Some contract assignments require fixed weekly hours, averaging 20/30/40 hours per week for the duration of the contract assignment.
