About the job
We invite you to submit your CV in English and specify your English proficiency level.
Mindrift specializes in connecting experts with project-based AI opportunities for top technology firms, focusing on the assessment, evaluation, and enhancement of AI systems. This is a project-based role and not a permanent position.
Role Overview:
Each project presents distinct tasks, and contributors may:
- Innovate original computational physics problems that replicate actual physics research processes;
- Develop problems necessitating Python programming to resolve (utilizing Numpy, SciPy, SymPy);
- Ensure the problems are computationally demanding and require more than reasonable timeframes (days/weeks) for manual solutions;
- Create challenges involving complex reasoning in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
- Base problems on genuine research obstacles or real-world applications from physics;
- Validate solutions through Python using recognized physics simulation libraries;
- Document problem statements with clarity and provide verified accurate solutions.
Candidate Profile:
This opportunity is ideal for physicists with Python expertise who are interested in 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; 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 physics, research, or teaching;
- Experience with numerical simulation techniques;
- An ability to create problems that reflect authentic physics research workflows;
- Creative problem-design skills across various physics domains;
- Knowledge of physics modeling and approximation methods;
- Strong command of written English (C1+ level).
Process Overview:
Apply → Pass qualifications → Join a project → Complete assigned tasks → Receive payment.
Expected Commitment:
For this project, tasks are expected to require approximately 10–20 hours per week during active phases, contingent on project needs. This is an estimate and does not guarantee workload.
Compensation:
Participants can earn up to $76 per hour, based on their level of expertise and contribution pace. Compensation varies by project, depending on scope, complexity, and required qualifications. Note that other projects may offer different compensation rates based on their specific requirements.
