Research Analyst - Advanced Math
Overview
Turing hires a Research Analyst to solve advanced math problems and build training scenarios that improve large language models like ChatGPT. You will read and summarize large content blocks, verify claims through online research, and write step-by-step explanations for edge cases the model gets wrong, including data analysis of monthly sales and logic puzzles with constraints. This 1-month contract is remote and demands 4 hours of daily overlap with PST. Strong English comprehension and high school to college level math in algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus are the core qualifications.
What You'll Do8
- 1Read lengthy content and condense it into smaller logical sections for model training.
- 2Verify factual claims by conducting targeted online research.
- 3Solve puzzle-based math problems and record the reasoning steps.
- 4Generate new analytical scenarios that expose common LLM errors.
- 5Write clear, step-by-step explanations for correct answers to edge cases.
- 6Analyze data such as monthly sales distributions across locations to determine trends.
- 7Manage weekly time commitment of 20-40 hours with required PST overlap.
- 8Apply high school and college math concepts to craft training examples.
Requirements12
- 1Read and write English with high comprehension.
- 2Solve math problems involving algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus at high school or college level.
- 3Approach unfamiliar problems systematically and creatively.
- 4Explain solutions in concise, step-by-step language.
- 5Communicate math concepts clearly in writing and verbally.
- 6Switch between different math topics and problem types.
- 7Dedicate 20, 30, or 40 hours per week, with at least 4 hours overlapping PST.
- 8Use a reliable computer and internet connection for online tools and collaboration.
- 9Preferred: hold a degree in mathematics, engineering, physics, or a related discipline; exceptional candidates without a degree are considered.
- 10Preferred: previous tutoring or teaching experience in high school math or engineering entrance exam content.
- 11Preferred: familiarity with standardized test formats.
- 12Preferred: experience with tools like LaTeX or Google Colab.
Who Should Apply
The ideal candidate is a clear communicator who can solve math problems at the high school or college level and then explain each step in simple English. This role suits someone who enjoys logic puzzles, data analysis, and teaching-style writing, and who is comfortable working on their own in a remote setup. The role is less suitable for those looking for a permanent job with benefits, since it is a 1-month contractor assignment with no medical or paid leave. Candidates often get rejected when their explanations skip steps or assume prior knowledge, or when they cannot commit to the required 4-hour PST overlap. A frequent fit issue is underrating the English writing assessment, which demands exact and unambiguous phrasing.

Required Skills
Application Tip
Practice solving logic puzzles and data interpretation problems in writing, and include all reasoning steps without skipping arithmetic. Since the screening includes a timed analytical challenge and a business writing assessment, polish your ability to explain math to a non-expert in a few short paragraphs.
