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.
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.
Evaluation Process (approximately 80-90 mins) :
• Shortlisted candidates will be sent an automated analytical challenge (approximately 30 mins)
• Once you clear the challenge, you will be redirected to a Mathematics assessment (approximately 30 minutes) followed by a language proficiency assessment (approximately 20 minutes).
• Once you clear these online assessments, you are ready to go!
Offer Details:
• The contract duration will range from a minimum of one week up to a maximum of three months.
• Maximum of 30 hours/week is allowed
• This contract may require some overlap with UTC-8:00 (2-5 hrs/day) America/Los_Angeles. To be confirmed closer to the onboarding date
This is a freelance/contractor position that is paid on a per-hour basis. You also must be authorized to work in the United States, and we will not be providing visa sponsorship since this is a 1099 contract opportunity. However, if you are an international student, you may be able to sign up if you are on a visa. You should contact your tax/immigration advisor with specific questions regarding your circumstances. We are unable to provide any documentation supporting employment at this time. Apply tot his job
