About Mindrift
Mindrift connects experienced professionals with project-based AI work for leading technology companies. Projects focus on testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems. This is a contract-based role, not permanent employment.
Role Overview
As a Freelance AI Trainer (Research Physicist with Python Expertise), contributors help shape AI by designing and validating advanced computational physics problems. Work is remote and project-based, with tasks varying by assignment.
Key Responsibilities
- Create original computational physics problems that reflect real research workflows.
- Develop problems requiring Python programming to solve, using libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, and Sympy.
- Ensure problems are computationally intensive and cannot be solved manually in a reasonable time.
- Design problems that demand complex reasoning in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, or quantum mechanics.
- Base problems on authentic research challenges or practical physics applications.
- Validate solutions with Python and standard physics simulation libraries.
- Document problem statements clearly and provide verified solutions.
Who This Suits
This project fits physicists with Python experience interested in flexible, part-time, non-permanent work. The ideal background includes:
- A 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, Stata, or other programming languages is also valuable.
- At least 2 years of professional experience in applied physics, research, or teaching.
- Expertise in numerical simulation techniques.
- Ability to design problems that mirror real research workflows in physics.
- Creative problem-solving across multiple physics domains.
- Familiarity with physics modeling and approximation methods.
- Strong written English at C1 level or above.
