Job description

Are you passionate about solving logical problems and working through challenging math?

Turing is looking for PhD-level researchers in mathematics to test the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs). You’ll create math 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.

What does day-to-day look like?

You’ll create math problems, review how the AI solves them, and share insights on how well it understands complex reasoning and logical steps. You’ll take on tasks such as:

Find the number of permutations of 10 elements that consist only of exactly 3 disjoint cycles.
How many distinct convex polyhedra can be formed using exactly 10 vertices such that all faces are triangles and the polyhedron has genus zero?
Currently enrolled in or have completed a Ph.D. or Postdoctoral in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, 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. (We have 3 options of time commitment: 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.

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.
