About the job
We invite you to submit your CV in English, along with your English proficiency level.
Mindrift is an innovative platform that connects talented specialists with project-based AI opportunities at leading technology companies, focused on testing, assessing, and enhancing AI systems. This is a project-based role, not a permanent position.
Role Overview
As a contributor, you will engage in various unique projects, which may include:
- Creating original computational physics problems that reflect genuine physics research workflows;
- Developing Python-based problems to solve using libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, and Sympy;
- Ensuring that problems are computationally intensive enough to require significant time for solution (days to weeks) rather than manual resolution;
- Designing challenges that necessitate complex reasoning across topics like mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
- Using real-world research challenges or practical physics applications as the basis for problem design;
- Validating solutions through Python using established physics simulation libraries;
- Providing clear documentation of problem statements along with accurate solutions.
Preferred Qualifications
We are looking for individuals with a background in physics who possess experience in Python and are open to part-time, non-permanent roles. The ideal candidates will have:
- A degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or related disciplines;
- Proficiency in Python for numerical validation; familiarity with MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, or other programming languages is also acceptable;
- A minimum of 2 years of professional experience in applied physics, research, or teaching;
- Experience with numerical simulation methodologies;
- The ability to craft problems that accurately represent real physics research workflows;
- Creative problem-solving skills that span various physics fields;
- A solid understanding of physics modeling and approximation techniques;
- Excellent written English skills (C1+ level).
Application Process
To apply, please submit your application, pass the necessary qualifications, join a project, complete the assigned tasks, and receive payment.
Project Commitment
Active phases of projects are expected to require around 10–20 hours of work per week, based on specific project needs. This is an estimation and not a guaranteed workload.
Compensation Details
Participants can earn up to $35 per hour, depending on their contribution level and pace. Compensation may vary by project based on its scope, complexity, and the expertise required.
