About Turing
Based in San Francisco, California, Turing is the world’s leading research accelerator for frontier AI labs and a trusted partner for global enterprises deploying advanced AI systems. Turing supports customers in two ways: first, by accelerating frontier research with high-quality data, advanced training pipelines, plus top AI researchers who specialize in coding, reasoning, STEM, multilinguality, multimodality, and agents; and second, by applying that expertise to help enterprises transform AI from proof of concept into proprietary intelligence with systems that perform reliably, deliver measurable impact, and drive lasting results on the P&L
Role Overview
We are seeking an AI Training Specialist (Chemistry) to design rigorous, upper-undergraduate–level and beyond Physics problems used to train and evaluate frontier AI models. This role focuses on creating realistic, exam-quality tasks that are solvable by humans yet challenging enough to expose failure modes in advanced language models.
Main Responsibilities
- We are seeking an AI Training Specialist (Chemistry) to create advanced Chemistry problems for training and evaluating frontier AI systems. This role emphasizes precision, formal chemical reasoning, and realistic university-level problem design.
- Main Responsibilities
- Design and curate upper-undergraduate and graduate-level Chemistry problems with complete, step-by-step solutions.
- Develop model-breaking tasks that reflect realistic academic chemistry challenges.
- Customize problem sets to meet strict formatting and specification requirements (SI units, LaTeX, closed-form answers).
- Convert diagram-heavy or multi-part questions into clear, text-only problems with definitive answers.
- Write and verify rigorous solution processes, ensuring internal consistency and correctness.
- Evaluate AI model outputs, identify failure modes, and refine tasks to maintain difficulty standards.
- Review and improve Chemistry problems created by peers for clarity, accuracy, and difficulty.
- Collaborate closely with interdisciplinary teams to maintain quality at scale.
Required Qualifications
- Master’s degree or PhD in Chemistry or a closely related discipline.
- Strong upper-undergraduate or higher-level Chemistry background.
- Fluency in written scientific English.
- Strong LaTeX skills, including use of mhchem and chemfig.
- Experience with university-level teaching, grading, or analytical research.
- Exceptional attention to detail in stoichiometry, units, constants, and notation.
- Familiarity with AI/LLM training concepts and evaluation workflows.
- Chemistry Domain Expertise
- Organic Chemistry
- Inorganic Chemistry
- Physical Chemistry
- Analytical Chemistry
- Polymer Chemistry & Polymer Physics
- Full command of IUPAC nomenclature and stereochemistry (R/S, E/Z)
- Ability to write text-only problems that replace graphical chemical structures
- Experience with quantitative chemistry problems (equilibria, kinetics, thermodynamics, spectroscopy)
Nice-to-Have
Experience creating AI training or educational content Skill in designing strong distractors for multiple-choice chemistry questions

Common questions
How does Turing's talent matching work?
Turing calls it the Intelligent Talent Cloud. You build a profile and go through vetting (automated tests, an AI-powered interview, practical skill assessments), and once vetted, Turing's algorithm surfaces your profile directly to partner companies like Fortune 500s and top AI labs. You don't browse listings or bid on work; matches come to you.
How and when does Turing pay contractors?
Monthly, in USD, via Deel, Payoneer, or direct bank transfer. You're engaged as an independent contractor responsible for your own local taxes. Plan your cash flow around a monthly cycle if you're used to weekly payouts elsewhere.
What does task-based AI training work look like?
Practical, hands-on data work: recording short videos, categorizing images, rating text responses, or analyzing data. Tasks are designed to be short and distinct, typically 5 to 60 minutes each.
What does STEM work look like for an AI Training Specialist – Chemistry?
Tasks here are scoped to STEM, not generic labeling. As an AI Training Specialist – Chemistry, expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to STEM) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on STEM background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.
What specific skills does this listing call for?
English and Expert are named directly in the listing. If you don't have hands-on experience with these, expect the screening process to test for them directly rather than accepting adjacent experience as a substitute.
How much does this specific role pay?
The listing doesn't state a rate. The $10–$22/hr shown here is our estimate from the role type and location (see /pay-methodology), so treat it as a rough guide and confirm the actual rate with the platform before committing time.
What happens when I click Apply on this listing?
You'll be taken to Turing's external site to complete your application there. This listing links through a referral, but the process is identical to applying directly; the link just routes you correctly. Create an account on their site and follow their onboarding steps.
Can I apply from outside Bangladesh, Egypt, India and 5 other countries?
This specific role is open only to people based in Bangladesh, Egypt, India, Kenya, Mexico, Nigeria, Turkey, and Ghana. If you are somewhere else, applying is unlikely to lead to an offer even if you pass the assessment, because the restriction is usually about where the work can legally be contracted rather than your skills. Read the full description for any tax-residency or right-to-work caveats before you apply, since they can differ by country.
