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 strong foundation in Chemistry, comparable to the level required for engineering entrance exams, as well as graduate or PhD-level programs.
You should be able to break down complex chemistry problems 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:

You would spend time solving a variety of advanced chemistry problems, including those at the undergraduate and graduate level, and creating detailed explanations. You'll regularly work with a mix of chemistry content—combining text with images, chemical equations, diagrams, and visual representations.

Here are a few examples of the kinds of tasks you might handle day to day:

Analyze and explain the steps in a complex organic reaction mechanism, providing both textual explanations and annotated chemical structures.
Solve a problem involving chemical equilibrium, accompanied by visual representations of reaction progress and energy diagrams, and explain the process using both text and visual aids.
Address challenging problems involving stoichiometry, thermodynamics, organic chemistry, and electrochemistry, typical of Engineering Entrance Exam or Engineering College level questions, utilizing a combination of textual, visual, and diagrammatic explanations.

Requirements:

Qualification: Candidates pursuing a Ph.D./Postdoctoral degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Biochemistry, or a related field are eligible to apply for this program.
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 chemistry problems with a structured approach.
Ability to explain chemistry concepts clearly using simple language, visuals, and simulations when needed.

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.

Selection Process:

Shortlisted experts may be asked to complete an assessment.
If you clear the assessment, you will be contacted for contract assignments with expected start dates, durations, and end dates.
Some contract assignments require fixed weekly hours, averaging 20/30/40 hours per week for the duration of the contract assignment.
