Remote Mathematics Specialist (PhD) - 34877

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.
