About this Role
From the Turing listing
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 a highly analytical and computationally proficient individual to join our team with a strong research background. You will be instrumental in contributing to this role by either crafting challenging and insightful problems in your respective research domain, devising elegant computational solutions.

Quantitative Problem Design and Solutioning:
Develop and conceptualize original, research-grade or graduate-level scientific problems with scientific coding/ programming, using Python. Rigorously define problem categories, secondary tags, and assign appropriate difficulty levels. Rigorously solve formulated problems using sound principles, ensuring absolute accuracy, reliability, and logical coherence of the solution path.
Quality Assurance & Collaboration:
Actively participate in two-tier reviews, meticulously evaluating both accuracy of problems and solutions. Collaborate effectively with reviewers and team leads, demonstrating a proactive approach to incorporating feedback, refining content, and enhancing overall quality promptly.
Required Qualifications:
PhD or PhD Candidates in Computational Biology/ Bioinformatics Has published at least 1 peer-reviewed paper Advanced proficiency in Python programming for scientific coding is preferred Excellent analytical, logical thinking, and problem-solving skills Strong written and verbal communication skills for clear documentation and collaboration
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.
Offer Details:
Commitments Required : At least 4 hours per day and minimum 20 hours per week with overlap of 4 hours 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 : 3 months; [expected start date is next week]
Requirements
- Python
- PhD Biology
- Grad Biology
- Must be eligible to work in Remote
Why This Role
No office, no fixed hours, no relocation. This Equity Research Analyst role pays $22/hr fully remote, giving you access to Generalist work that would otherwise be limited to a handful of major cities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be a software engineer to work for Turing?
No, not anymore. Turing built its name matching senior engineers with Silicon Valley companies, but it has since expanded into AGI infrastructure work and now hires non-engineering domain experts, technical writers, and researchers for post-training data annotation and RLHF. A strong analytical background and excellent English matter more than coding ability.
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 actually 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 asynchronous AI training work mean in practice?
No set hours, no check-ins, no meetings. You log in when you want, pick up an available task, complete it, and submit; nobody is waiting on you in real time. That's different from remote employment, where you're expected online during business hours. The tradeoff: you're competing with others for available tasks, so an empty queue means there's simply nothing to do until more work is released.
What does Generalist work look like for a Equity Research Analyst?
Tasks here are scoped to Generalist, not generic labeling. As a Equity Research Analyst, expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to Generalist) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on Generalist background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.
How many hours per week does this role require?
Based on the listing, this role is scoped at 20–40 hours per week, over roughly a 12-week contract. Treat this as a real commitment expectation, not a loose estimate.
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.
