Ideal candidates will have:A relevant academic background in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational);Strong Python skills for numerical validation; familiarity with MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, or other programming languages is accepted;A minimum of 2 years of professional experience in applied research, teaching, or related fields;Experience with numerical simulation techniques;The ability to create problems that closely mimic real-world physics research workflows;Creative problem-solving abilities across multiple physics disciplines;Understanding of physics modeling and approximation methods;Excellent written communication skills in English (C1+ level).

About the job

We invite you to submit your CV in English, along with your level of English proficiency.

At Mindrift, we connect talented specialists with dynamic, project-based AI opportunities at leading technology firms, focusing on the testing, evaluation, and enhancement of AI systems. This is a project-based role, not a permanent position.

Role Overview:

Each project will present unique challenges, but typical responsibilities may include:

  • Crafting original computational physics problems that replicate authentic physics research workflows;
  • Developing problems that necessitate Python programming for solutions (utilizing libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, Sympy);
  • Ensuring the problems are computationally demanding and cannot be manually resolved within a reasonable timeframe (spanning days or weeks);
  • Creating problems that require sophisticated reasoning in areas of mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
  • Formulating problems based on genuine research obstacles or practical applications from the field of physics;
  • Validating solutions through Python using standard physics simulation libraries;
  • Clearly documenting problem statements and providing confirmed correct answers.

Desired Qualifications:

This opportunity is ideal for physicists with Python experience seeking part-time, non-permanent projects. The ideal candidates will possess:

  • A degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or a related discipline;
  • Proficiency in Python for numerical validation, with familiarity in MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, or other programming languages considered equivalent;
  • At least 2 years of relevant professional experience, including applied research or educational roles;
  • Expertise in numerical simulation methodologies;
  • Capability to design problems that reflect authentic physics research workflows;
  • Innovative thinking in problem creation across various physics domains;
  • Familiarity with physics modeling and approximation strategies;
  • Exceptional written English skills (C1 or higher).

Application Process:

To apply, please submit your application, pass the necessary qualifications, join a project, complete assigned tasks, and receive compensation.

Project Time Commitment:

The anticipated workload for this project is approximately 10–20 hours weekly during active phases, contingent upon project requirements. Please note that this is an estimate and not a guaranteed workload.

Compensation:

Contributors have the potential to earn up to $76 per hour, based on their expertise and contribution pace. Compensation may vary by project, depending on scope, complexity, and required skills. Please be aware that other projects on the platform may have different compensation structures based on their specific needs.
