About the job
Please submit your CV in English, specifying your English proficiency level.
At Mindrift, we specialize in connecting talented professionals with exciting project-based AI opportunities across renowned tech companies, dedicated to the testing, evaluation, and enhancement of AI systems. Note that participation is on a project basis and does not constitute permanent employment.
Project Involvement Includes:
- Designing innovative computational physics problems that emulate authentic research workflows;
- Creating problems that necessitate Python programming for solutions (utilizing libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, Sympy);
- Ensuring problems are computationally demanding and not solvable manually within practical timeframes (days/weeks);
- Developing problems that require complex reasoning in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
- Rooting problems in real research challenges or practical applications from the field of physics;
- Validating solutions using Python alongside standard physics simulation libraries;
- Clearly documenting problem statements and providing verified correct answers.
Desired Qualifications:
This role is ideal for quantum researchers proficient in Python, seeking part-time, non-permanent project opportunities. Preferred candidates will possess:
- 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 specific programming language may be considered equivalent;
- A minimum of 2 years of professional experience in applied research or teaching;
- Experience with numerical simulation methodologies;
- Adeptness in designing problems that reflect genuine physics research workflows;
- Creative problem design skills spanning various physics domains;
- Knowledge of physics modeling and approximation techniques;
- Strong command of written English (C1+ level).
Application Process:
Apply → Pass qualifications → Join a project → Complete assigned tasks → Receive payment
Project Time Commitment:
During active project phases, tasks are estimated to require approximately 10–20 hours per week, contingent on project demands. This is an estimate and not a guaranteed workload.
Compensation:
Contributors can earn up to $35 per hour, varying with their contribution level and speed. Compensation may differ across projects depending on scope, complexity, and expertise required.
