About Mindrift
Mindrift connects skilled professionals with project-based roles focused on testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems for leading technology companies. This is a freelance, project-based role and does not constitute permanent employment.
Role Overview: Freelance AI Trainer – Physics Expert with Python
As a contributor, each project brings new challenges. Typical responsibilities include:
- Designing original computational physics problems that mirror real research practices
- Creating problems that require Python coding solutions, using tools such as Numpy, SciPy, and Sympy
- Ensuring problems are computationally intensive, with solutions requiring days or weeks rather than manual calculation
- Covering advanced topics like mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics
- Basing problems on genuine research issues or practical physics applications
- Validating solutions with Python and established physics simulation libraries
- Clearly documenting each problem and providing verified, correct answers
Who Should Apply
This role suits physicists with Python skills interested in flexible, part-time projects. The ideal candidate will have:
- A degree in Physics (theoretical, experimental, or computational) or a closely related field
- Strong Python skills for numerical validation; experience with MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, or domain-specific libraries is a plus
- At least 2 years of professional experience in research, applied work, or teaching
- Background in numerical simulation techniques
- Ability to design problems that reflect real-world research workflows
- Creative problem design skills across multiple physics disciplines
- Familiarity with modeling and approximation in physics
- Excellent written English (C1 level or above)
How to Apply
Candidates must complete a qualification process before joining a project, submitting tasks, and receiving payment.
Time Commitment
During active projects, expect to contribute about 10–20 hours per week, depending on project requirements. Actual hours may vary.
Compensation
Earn up to $29 per hour, depending on experience and contribution speed. Rates vary by project based on complexity and expertise needed. Other projects on the platform may offer different compensation levels according to their requirements.
Location
This is a remote position based in Rome, Metropolitan City of Rome Capital, Italy.
