Are you passionate about solving challenging chemistry problems?

Turing is looking for PhD-level researchers in Chemistry to test the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs). You’ll create Chemistry 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.

What does day-to-day look like?

You’ll create chemistry problems, review how the AI solves them, and share insights on how well it understands complex reasoning and logical steps. You’ll take on tasks such as:

• A coal gasifier operating at high temperature uses a feed of steam and air to produce synthesis gas from pure carbon. Given the feed composition and operating conditions, calculate the equilibrium concentration of a specific gas in the output stream at 1000 K.
• Two elementary gas-phase reactions occur in a plug flow reactor with stoichiometric feed and known operating and coolant conditions. Develop a reactor model to estimate the maximum temperature reached, assuming constant external coolant temperature.
• Currently enrolled in or have completed a Ph.D. or Postdoctoral in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Biochemistry, 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.

Time Commitment & Contract Details

• Commitments Required: at least 4 hours per day and minimum 20 hours per week with 4 hours of overlap with PST. (We have 3 options of time commitment: 20 hrs/week, 30 hrs/week, or 40 hrs/week)
• Engagement type : Contractor assignment/freelancer (no medical/paid leave)
• Duration of contract: 1 month; (expected start date is next week)

Selection Process : Task-based assessment for shortlisted candidates, followed by a contract offer with defined timelines and workload.
