1 day ago Be among the first 25 applicants Get AI-powered advice on this job and more exclusive features. 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. Overview

You’ll create physics problems, review how the AI solves them, and share insights on how well it understands complex reasoning and logical steps. Responsibilities

Create physics problems. Review how the AI solves them and assess its reasoning and logical steps. Share insights on model understanding of complex reasoning and structured problem-solving. Example tasks include evaluating energy loss of a high-energy pion in a material, decay probabilities, and stochastic processes in Brownian motion (conditions and distributions as specified). Qualifications

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. Contract details
