About the job
Please submit your CV in English and specify your English proficiency level.
Mindrift connects subject-matter experts with project-based AI work for technology companies. This is a freelance, project-based position, not a permanent role.
Role overview
The Freelance AI Trainer - Physics and Python Specialist creates and tests computational physics problems for AI systems. This work involves designing problems that reflect real research workflows and require Python programming to solve, often using libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, or Sympy. Problems should be complex enough that they cannot be solved by hand in a reasonable timeframe, and should draw from advanced topics in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics. Each problem must be clearly documented, based on genuine research challenges or practical applications, and include accurate, verified solutions implemented in Python.
Requirements
- Degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or a closely related field
- Proficiency in Python for numerical validation; experience with MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, or similar tools is a plus
- Minimum 2 years of professional experience in applied physics, research, or teaching
- Background in numerical simulation methods
- Ability to design problems reflecting real-world research in physics
- Creativity in developing problems across multiple physics domains
- Familiarity with modeling and approximation techniques in physics
- Strong written English skills at C1 level or higher
How to apply
- Apply
- Pass qualification(s)
- Join a project
- Complete assigned tasks
- Receive compensation
Time commitment
Project tasks typically require 10–20 hours per week during active phases. Actual workload may vary depending on project needs.
Compensation
Earn up to $14 per hour, based on expertise and task completion rate. Compensation varies by project complexity, scope, and required skills. Other projects on the Mindrift platform may offer different earning potentials.
Location
This is a remote role for candidates based in Belo Horizonte, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil.
