Key Responsibilities

• Design and evaluate challenging physics problems to test AI reasoning.
• Analyze AI-generated solutions for logic, rigor, and step-by-step clarity.
• Provide detailed, constructive feedback that highlights gaps in reasoning.
• Contribute to the development of benchmarks that measure model performance on abstract and multi-step tasks.
• Collaborate with researchers to refine methodologies for testing AI reasoning.

Must-have Qualifications

• PhD or Postdoctoral (or currently enrolled) in Physics, Applied Physics, or related fields.
• Strong ability to solve complex, multi-step problems with structured reasoning.
• Skilled communicator, able to explain logic and critique clearly in writing.
• Independent, self-motivated, and comfortable in a remote setting.
• Reliable computer and internet setup.

Why Join Turing?

• Impact : Help define how AI models reason about abstract, scientific problems.
• Prestige : Work with leading AI labs shaping the future of reasoning systems.
• Flexibility : Remote-first, with weekly hour options.
