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 highly analytical and detail-oriented Biology Subject Matter Experts to contribute to the development and evaluation of cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence systems.
In this role, you will help train and evaluate Large Language Models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, by creating, reviewing, and solving complex Biology problems. Your expertise will directly influence the accuracy, reasoning capabilities, and educational value of next-generation AI systems.
The ideal candidate possesses a strong academic foundation in Biology and is comfortable working with concepts ranging from undergraduate-level coursework to advanced graduate and research topics. This position offers a unique opportunity to combine scientific expertise with emerging AI technologies while developing valuable skills in an AI-driven environment.
Responsibilities:
Design challenging Biology questions that test the reasoning, knowledge, and problem-solving abilities of large language models. Develop accurate, detailed, and well-structured solutions with clear step-by-step explanations. Evaluate AI-generated responses for correctness, scientific rigor, clarity, and reasoning quality. Identify areas where AI systems struggle, including:Conceptual understanding Multi-step reasoning Data interpretation Scientific analysis
Collaborate with AI researchers and project teams to improve evaluation methodologies and model performance. Contribute to the development of Biology benchmarks covering topics from undergraduate through advanced graduate-level curricula. Provide detailed annotations, feedback, and quality assessments to support model improvement.
Required Qualifications:
Excellent analytical, research, and problem-solving abilities. Strong English reading and comprehension skills. Ability to explain complex biological concepts in a clear, concise, and accessible manner. Exceptional attention to detail and commitment to accuracy. Strong written communication and documentation skills. Ability to work independently and manage tasks effectively in a remote environment. Comfortable using digital tools and online collaboration platforms.
Offer Details
Commitments Required: at least 4 hours per day and up to 40 hours per week with 4 hours of overlap with PST.
Requirements
- Must be eligible to work in Remote
- Fluent proficiency in English (Written & Verbal)
- Reliable high-speed internet connection
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience
- Demonstrated expertise in STEM

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be a software engineer?
Not anymore. Turing built its reputation matching senior engineers with Silicon Valley companies, but they have heavily pivoted into AGI infrastructure. They now hire non-engineering domain experts, technical writers, and researchers for post-training data annotation and RLHF. A strong analytical background and excellent English are required, but you do not need to code.
How does matching work?
Turing calls it the 'Intelligent Talent Cloud.' You build a profile and go through deep vetting — automated tests, an AI-powered interview, and practical skill assessments. Once vetted, Turing's algorithm automatically surfaces you to partner companies (Fortune 500s and top AI labs). You don't browse job boards or bid on work — matches come to you.
How does payment work?
You are hired as an independent contractor, responsible for your own local taxes. Turing collects payment from the client and pays you monthly in USD via Deel, Payoneer, or direct bank/wire transfer. Monthly pay is standard for long-term contract roles — if you need weekly cash flow, this structure requires adjustment.
Is this just labeling data?
No. This is closer to academic research. You will likely be writing or verifying complex proofs, solving advanced equations, or checking the logic of a model's step-by-step reasoning. The goal is to teach AI systems to reason deeply in your field.
Do I need a PhD?
For the highest pay tiers in this category, a PhD (or current enrollment) is usually expected. However, the most important factor is your ability to pass the domain assessment. If you can solve the problems, the degree is secondary.
Is the work continuous?
Work in niche fields is often project-based. A specific "campaign" (e.g., training a model on Quantum Mechanics) might last for a few weeks. It is best to treat this as a high-paying fellowship or grant rather than a permanent daily job.
