About the job
Kindly submit your CV in English, specifying your English proficiency level.
Mindrift specializes in connecting talented experts with dynamic, project-based AI opportunities within leading tech organizations, focusing on the assessment, evaluation, and enhancement of AI systems. Please note that participation is project-based and not a permanent employment position.
Opportunity Overview
Each project offers unique challenges, and contributors may be tasked with:
- Creating original computational physics problems that replicate authentic physics research workflows;
- Devising problems that necessitate Python programming for resolution (utilizing libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, Sympy);
- Ensuring problems are computationally demanding and cannot be resolved manually in a reasonable timeframe (days/weeks);
- Formulating problems that involve complex reasoning chains in fields such as mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
- Grounding problems in actual research challenges or practical applications from the field of physics;
- Verifying solutions through Python using standard physics simulation libraries;
- Clearly documenting problem statements and providing verified correct answers.
Ideal Candidate Profile
This role is an excellent match for quantum researchers with Python experience who are open to part-time, non-permanent projects. Ideal contributors will have:
- A degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or related disciplines;
- Proficiency in Python for numerical validation; familiarity with MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, or any domain-specific libraries is also acceptable;
- A minimum of 2 years of relevant professional experience, whether in applied research or teaching;
- Experience with numerical simulation methodologies;
- The ability to design problems mirroring real physics research workflows;
- Creative thinking for problem design across various physics domains;
- Familiarity with physics modeling and approximation techniques;
- Strong proficiency in written English (C1+).
Process Overview
Application → Qualification Assessment → Project Participation → Task Completion → Compensation
Project Commitment
For this project, anticipated task involvement is estimated at approximately 10–20 hours per week during active phases, varying based on project requirements. This is an estimation and does not guarantee a fixed workload during the project's duration.
Compensation Structure
Contributors may earn up to $35 per hour, contingent on their skill level and contribution pace. Compensation can differ across projects based on their scope, complexity, and required expertise. Please be aware that other projects within the platform may offer varied compensation levels based on their specific needs.
