About Mindrift
Mindrift connects skilled professionals with project-based roles in artificial intelligence for leading tech companies. Most work centers on testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems. This is a project-based contract, not a permanent position.
Role Overview: Freelance AI Trainer – Research Physicist with Python Skills
Projects vary, but contributors typically:
- Create advanced computational physics problems that mirror real research workflows
- Develop problems requiring Python programming for solutions, often using libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, and Sympy
- Design computationally intensive challenges that may take several days or weeks to solve
- Write problems involving complex reasoning in areas like mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics
- Base scenarios on authentic research challenges or practical physics applications
- Validate solutions with Python and standard simulation libraries
- Document problem statements clearly and provide verified answers
Who We’re Looking For
This role suits physicists with strong Python skills who want flexible, part-time project work. Ideal candidates have:
