Remote Physics Research Scientist (PhD) - 34878

Overview Role Overview: Turing is hiring Physics Research Scientists (PhD, Remote) to test and improve how advanced AI models handle reasoning and problem-solving in physics. Work with top AI labs, contribute to frontier benchmarks, and earn up to $150/hr on a flexible, remote schedule. This is a remote, contract-based role with flexible weekly hour options (10, 20, or 30). Key Responsibilities Design and evaluate challenging physics problems to test AI reasoning. Analyze AI-generated solutions for logic, rigor, and step-by-step clarity. Provide detailed, constructive feedback that highlights gaps in reasoning. Contribute to the development of benchmarks that measure model performance on abstract and multi-step tasks. Collaborate with researchers to refine methodologies for testing AI reasoning. Must-have Qualifications PhD or Postdoctoral (or currently enrolled) in Physics, Applied Physics, or related fields. Strong ability to solve complex, multi-step problems with structured reasoning. Skilled communicator, able to explain logic and critique clearly in writing. Independent, self-motivated, and comfortable in a remote setting. Reliable computer and internet setup. Why Join Turing? Impact: Help define how AI models reason about abstract, scientific problems. Prestige: Work with leading AI labs shaping the future of reasoning systems. Flexibility: Remote-first, with weekly hour options. Career Growth: Gain experience at the intersection of AI and physics research. Contract & Selection Process Compensation: $50–$150 per hour, based on skills and experience. (paid once every two weeks). Duration: 1 week to 3 months (project-based; extension possible). Hours: Up to 30 hrs/week. Time Zone: 2–5 hrs/day overlap with UTC-8 (America/Los_Angeles), confirmed near onboarding.
