Descrizione del lavoro

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

Turing is looking for PhD-level researchers in physics to test the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs). You’ll create physics 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 physics problems, review how the AI solves them, and share insights on how well it understands complex reasoning and logical steps. Tasks include:

• A high-energy pion travels through a material, losing energy at a constant rate. Given its rest mass and proper lifetime, calculate the probability that it decays within a certain distance from its origin.
• For a 1D Brownian motion starting at the origin, define the last return time to zero and the time spent on the positive axis as fractions of total time. Find the exact joint probability distribution of these scaled times, expressed using the Heaviside function to specify its support.

Eligibility

• Currently enrolled in or have completed a Ph.D. or Postdoctoral in Physics, Applied Physics, 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 include:

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.
