Mindrift connects subject-matter experts with project-based AI work for technology companies. These freelance roles focus on testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems. Engagements are structured as projects rather than permanent jobs.
Role overview
This freelance AI Trainer position is designed for research physicists with strong Python skills. Each project brings its own set of tasks, but core responsibilities often include:
- Designing computational physics problems that reflect real research workflows
- Creating challenges that require Python programming to solve, using libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, or Sympy
- Ensuring problems are complex enough to require computational solutions
- Developing questions in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics that demand advanced reasoning
- Basing tasks on authentic research questions or practical applications in physics
- Validating solutions in Python with standard simulation libraries
- Documenting problem statements clearly and providing verified answers
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 domain-specific libraries is a plus
- Minimum 2 years of relevant experience (applied, research, or teaching)
- Background in numerical simulation techniques
- Ability to design problems that mirror authentic physics research
- Creative problem-solving across several physics domains
- Familiarity with modeling and approximation methods
- Exceptional written English skills at C1 level or higher
Project commitment
Most projects require about 10–20 hours per week during active phases. Actual hours may vary and are not guaranteed, as workload depends on project needs.
Compensation
Earn up to $45 per hour, depending on contribution and pace. Pay rates may differ across projects, reflecting their specific scope and complexity.
