About the job
We invite you to submit your CV in English, specifying your level of English proficiency.
Mindrift bridges the gap between specialists and exciting project-based AI roles with leading tech companies, dedicated to the testing, evaluation, and enhancement of AI systems. Please note that involvement is project-specific and does not lead to permanent employment.
Your role will encompass:
- Crafting unique computational physics challenges that emulate authentic physics research workflows;
- Developing problems that require Python programming for resolution (utilizing Numpy, SciPy, Sympy);
- Ensuring that the problems are computationally intensive, requiring several days or weeks to solve manually;
- Formulating problems that demand complex reasoning in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
- Drawing from actual research challenges or practical applications within physics;
- Validating solutions through Python using standard physics simulation libraries;
- Providing clear documentation for problem statements and verified answers.
We're looking for candidates 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, domain-specific libraries, Stata, or any programming language is acceptable;
- A minimum of 2 years of professional experience in applied research or teaching;
- Expertise in numerical simulation methods;
- The ability to design challenges that reflect real physics research processes;
- Innovative problem design skills across various physics fields;
- An understanding of physics modeling and approximation techniques;
- Exceptional written English skills (C1+ level).
