What is pulmonary research?

A Pulmonary Research job involves studying lung diseases, respiratory function, and treatments to improve patient outcomes. Researchers may conduct clinical trials, analyze data, and collaborate with healthcare professionals to develop new therapies. They often work in hospitals, universities, or pharmaceutical companies. The role may also include writing research papers and securing funding for studies.

What does someone working in pulmonary research do?

Professionals in Pulmonary Research generally spend their days designing and conducting experiments, analyzing data, and preparing findings for presentations or publication. The role often involves working closely with physicians, laboratory technicians, and other researchers to coordinate clinical trials and laboratory studies focused on lung health and diseases. Additionally, tracking patient outcomes, maintaining accurate records, and applying for research funding or grants are common tasks. This work environment encourages collaboration and continual learning, making it engaging for those interested in advancing respiratory science.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in pulmonary research?

To thrive in Pulmonary Research, you need a strong background in biomedical or life sciences, experience with research methodologies, and typically an advanced degree such as a Master's or PhD. Familiarity with data analysis software (such as SPSS or R), laboratory techniques, and compliance with clinical research regulations is essential. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and collaborative communication are vital soft skills. These skills ensure high-quality research, accuracy in data collection, and effective teamwork within multidisciplinary environments.

Job description

Role Overview:
In this project, you will leverage your expertise in pulmonary and critical care medicine to help fine-tune large language models (like ChatGPT). Your deep understanding of respiratory diagnostics, ventilator management, and ICU-level decision-making will help ensure AI systems deliver accurate, empathetic, and safe medical reasoning. 

What You’ll Do:
  • Design and solve advanced clinical scenarios reflecting pulmonary and critical care practice, from complex ventilator management to ARDS, COPD exacerbations, and sepsis-driven respiratory failure.
  • Evaluate AI-generated responses for diagnostic accuracy, clinical judgment, and evidence-based reasoning in pulmonary and critical care medicine.
  • Identify gaps in AI understanding across pulmonology and intensive care, including interstitial lung disease, pulmonary hypertension, and ICU protocols.
  • Collaborate with AI researchers and medical peers to improve model quality and reliability.
  • Provide structured, expert feedback that informs next-generation AI development for clinical and educational applications.

Candidate Requirements:
  • MD or equivalent; active practice within the last 3+ years.
  • Board certification or equivalent qualification in Pulmonary Medicine and/or Critical Care Medicine.
  • Strong grasp of pulmonary and critical care medicine — respiratory failure, mechanical ventilation, lung diseases, and ICU management.
  • Skilled in articulating complex medical reasoning in clear, patient-friendly language.
  • Excellent written and spoken English; familiarity with digital medical tools is a plus.
  • Education from a top-tier institution (e.g., Harvard, Stanford, UCSF, Oxford, etc.).

Offer Details:
  • Commitment: 20–40 hours/week (minimum 4 hours/day, with overlap in PST).
  • Engagement: Contractor/freelancer (no medical or paid leave).
  • Duration: 1 month, with possible extension.
  • Remote: Fully remote, collaborative environment.

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.
