toloka-ai, working through Mindrift, offers project-based freelance work for research physicists with Python skills. This role centers on testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems by creating and validating computational physics problems. Projects are temporary and do not constitute permanent employment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop original computational physics problems that reflect authentic research workflows.
  • Create assignments requiring Python programming, often using libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, or Sympy.
  • Design problems complex enough to require computational solutions rather than manual calculation.
  • Build scenarios involving advanced reasoning in fields like mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics.
  • Draw on real research issues or practical applications in physics for problem design.
  • Validate solutions using Python and standard physics simulation tools.
  • Document each problem statement clearly and provide verified solutions.

Requirements

  • Degree in Physics (theoretical, experimental, or computational) or a closely related field.
  • Strong Python skills for numerical validation. Experience with MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, or similar libraries is valued.
  • Minimum of 2 years of relevant experience in applied research or teaching.
  • Background in numerical simulation techniques.
  • Ability to design problems that mirror real-world research workflows.
  • Creative problem-solving across multiple physics disciplines.
  • Familiarity with physics modeling and approximation methods.
  • Excellent written English at C1 level or above.

Application Process

  1. Submit an application for the role.
  2. Complete the required qualifications.
  3. Join a project if selected.
  4. Work on assigned tasks.
  5. Receive compensation for completed work.

Time Commitment

During active project periods, tasks generally require 10–20 hours per week. Actual workload may vary with project demand and is not guaranteed outside active phases.

Compensation

Contributors can earn up to $76 per hour, depending on experience and pace. Compensation varies by project based on scope, complexity, and required expertise.

Location

This is a remote, project-based position. Candidates based in San Antonio, Texas, United States are encouraged to apply.
