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 solid foundation in mathematics, particularly at the level expected in PhD-level programs.
• You should be able to break down complex mathematical concepts 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:

• Design and solve challenging math problems to probe the limitations of large language models.
• Develop high-quality, step-by-step solutions with clear and rigorous reasoning.
• Collaborate with LLM researchers to align problem types with evaluation goals, particularly in areas where models commonly struggle (e.g., abstraction, multi-step reasoning, symbolic manipulation).
• Contribute to defining new evaluation benchmarks based on Mathematics curricula spanning early undergraduate to PhD-level topics.

Requirements:

• Qualification: Candidates pursuing a Ph.D./Postdoctoral degree in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, or a related field are eligible to apply.
• 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 math problems with a structured and logical approach.
• Ability to explain math concepts clearly using simple language, visuals, and examples.

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.
