About the job
We invite you to submit your CV in English, highlighting your level of English proficiency.
Mindrift seamlessly connects experts with dynamic, project-based AI opportunities at leading tech firms that focus on testing, evaluating, and enhancing AI systems. This is a project-based role and not a permanent position.
Key Responsibilities
In this role, you will engage in various unique tasks, which may include:
- Creating innovative computational physics problems that emulate authentic physics research processes;
- Formulating problems that necessitate Python programming for resolution (utilizing libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, Sympy);
- Ensuring that the problems are computationally intensive and require significant time (days/weeks) for resolution;
- Developing challenges that involve complex reasoning in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
- Grounding problems in real-world research challenges or practical physics applications;
- Validating solutions using Python alongside standard physics simulation libraries;
- Clearly documenting problem statements and providing verified correct answers.
Qualifications
The ideal candidate for this role will be a physicist with substantial Python experience, open to part-time, non-permanent engagements. We are looking for individuals who possess:
- A degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or a related field;
- Proficiency in Python for numerical validation; familiarity with MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, or any domain-specific libraries can also be considered;
- A minimum of 2 years of relevant professional experience, whether in applied research or teaching;
- Experience in numerical simulation techniques;
- The capability to design problems that reflect genuine physics research workflows;
- Creative problem-solving skills across various physics domains;
- Knowledge of physics modeling and approximation strategies;
- Strong written English skills (C1 level or higher).
How to Engage
Application Process: Apply → Pass qualifying assessments → Join a project → Fulfill tasks → Receive compensation.
Project Expectations
During active phases, tasks are estimated to require approximately 10–20 hours per week, depending on project needs. This estimate is not a guaranteed workload and applies solely while the project is active.
Compensation
Contributors can earn up to $76 per hour, contingent upon their contribution level and pace. Compensation may vary across projects based on scope, complexity, and required expertise. Please be aware that other projects on the platform may present varying earning levels based on their specific requirements.
