Remote Mathematics Expert (PhD)
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:
- Accelerating frontier research with high-quality data, advanced training pipelines, and top AI researchers specialising in coding, reasoning, STEM, multilinguality, multimodality, and agents.
- Applying this expertise to help enterprises transform AI from proof of concept into proprietary intelligence—systems that perform reliably, deliver measurable impact, and generate lasting results on the P&L.
Role Overview: Mathematics Evaluation & Research Specialist
In this role, you’ll focus on projects that improve and evaluate large language models (LLMs) through:
- Advanced mathematical reasoning
- Problem-solving
- Computational thinking
- Clear written communication
Key Responsibilities:
The ideal candidate should possess:
- A solid foundation in mathematics akin to the level expected in engineering entrance exams, or in graduate/PhD-level programs.
- Expertise in breaking down complex concepts into clear, simple explanations.
- Ability to execute efficiently in both independent and evaluative roles.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Core Tasks:
- Design original, challenging math problems that probe the reasoning limits of LLMs (especially multi-step, abstract, and proof-based scenarios).
- Solve problems independently and write detailed, structured solutions with logical justifications.
- Review model-generated solutions, identify mathematical errors or logical gaps, and provide precise feedback, annotations, and corrections.
- Contribute to establishing new evaluation benchmarks aligned with curricula from early undergraduate to PhD-level mathematics.
- Develop and validate Python-based computational solutions using approved scientific libraries.
- Engage in theorem-prover tasks with Lean, including translating and verifying mathematical problems/proofs in formal language.
Requirements
Qualifications:
- Analytical skills: Strong research and analytical abilities.
- Feedback skills: Ability to provide constructive feedback with detailed annotations.
- Creative thinking: Skilled in lateral and imaginative problem-solving.
- Communication: Exceptional structured communication and remote collaboration skills.
- Independence: Self-motivated and capable of working autonomously in a remote context.
