About the job
We invite you to submit your CV in English, along with your English proficiency level.
At Mindrift, we facilitate connections between talented specialists and exciting project-based AI opportunities in leading technology companies. Our focus is on the testing, evaluation, and enhancement of AI systems. Note that participation is project-specific and does not constitute permanent employment.
Opportunity Overview
Each project presents distinct tasks, and contributors may engage in the following:
- Crafting original computational physics problems that replicate authentic physics research workflows;
- Designing challenges that necessitate Python programming for resolution (utilizing Numpy, SciPy, Sympy);
- Creating problems that are computationally intensive and require substantial timeframes (days/weeks) for resolution;
- Formulating challenges that involve complex reasoning in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
- Grounding problems in real research dilemmas or practical applications from physics;
- Validating solutions through Python using established physics simulation libraries;
- Clearly documenting problem statements and providing verified, accurate answers.
Ideal Candidate Profile
This role is well-suited for quantum researchers with Python proficiency who are interested in part-time, non-permanent projects. We seek candidates with:
- A degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, Computational) or a related field;
- Proficiency in Python for numerical validation, with experience in MATLAB, R, C, SQL, or domain-specific libraries as acceptable alternatives;
- At least 2 years of professional experience in applied research or teaching;
- Familiarity with numerical simulation techniques;
- The ability to design problems that reflect genuine physics research workflows;
- Innovative thinking in problem creation across various physics domains;
- Knowledge of physics modeling and approximation methods;
- Strong command of written English (C1 or higher).
