About The Position

Turing is seeking a Physics Expert to work on projects that fine-tune large language models (LLMs) using strong analytical and English comprehension skills. The ideal candidate will have a solid foundation in Physics, comparable to engineering entrance exams and graduate/PhD-level programs. Responsibilities include breaking down complex Physics concepts into simple, clear explanations and working efficiently. This role offers an opportunity to learn how to leverage AI to enhance analytical skills and future-proof a career in the AI field.

Requirements

Good research and analytical skills
Ability to provide constructive feedback and detailed annotations.
Creative and lateral thinking abilities.
Excellent structured communication and collaboration skills in a remote setting.
Self-motivated and able to work independently in a remote setting.
Desktop/Laptop set up with a good internet connection.

Nice To Haves

Currently pursuing a Ph.D./Postdoctoral degree in Physics, Applied Physics, or a related field.
Ability to analyze and solve complex physics problems with a structured and logical approach.
Ability to explain physics concepts clearly using simple language, visuals, and physics reasoning.

Responsibilities

Design and solve challenging Physics problems to probe the limitations of large language models.
Create clear, high-quality, step-by-step solutions with well-articulated reasoning.
Collaborate with LLM researchers to align problems with evaluation goals, especially in areas where models typically struggle (e.g., abstraction, multi-step reasoning, symbolic manipulation).
Help define new evaluation benchmarks based on Physics curricula spanning early undergraduate to PhD-level topics.
