Experience

Qualifications

Applicants should have a degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or a related field, and a strong proficiency in Python for numerical validation. Experience in MATLAB, R, C, SQL, or other relevant programming languages is also acceptable. A minimum of 2 years of professional experience, whether in applied research, teaching, or equivalent roles, is required. Familiarity with numerical simulation methods and the ability to design real-world physics problems are crucial.

About the job

Application Instructions: Please submit your CV in English and indicate your level of English proficiency.

Mindrift collaborates with specialists to connect them with project-based AI opportunities for leading technology companies, emphasizing the testing, evaluation, and enhancement of AI systems. This is a project-based role, not a permanent position.

Opportunity Overview:

Each project presents unique tasks, and contributors may be involved in:

  • Designing original computational physics problems that simulate authentic physics research workflows.
  • Creating problems that necessitate Python programming for resolution (utilizing libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, and Sympy).
  • Ensuring problems are computationally intensive, requiring significant timeframes for resolution (days to weeks).
  • Developing problems that involve complex reasoning in areas such as mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics.
  • Formulating problems based on genuine research challenges or applicable physics practices.
  • Verifying solutions using Python with standard physics simulation libraries.
  • Documenting problem statements comprehensively and providing validated correct answers.

Qualifications:

This role suits quantum researchers experienced in Python and open to part-time, non-permanent projects. The ideal candidates will possess:

  • A degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or a related field.
  • Proficiency in Python for numerical validation, with equivalent knowledge in MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, or other domain-specific libraries also acceptable.
  • A minimum of 2 years of professional experience in applied, research, or teaching roles.
  • Experience with numerical simulation methods.
  • The ability to design problems that reflect authentic physics research workflows.
  • Creative problem design skills across various physics disciplines.
  • Familiarity with physics modeling and approximation techniques.
  • Strong written English proficiency (C1+ level).

Application Process: Apply → Pass qualifications → Join a project → Complete tasks → Get compensated.

Expected Project Commitment: Tasks are estimated to require approximately 10–20 hours per week during active project phases, based on specific project needs. This estimate is not a guaranteed workload and applies only while the project is active.

Compensation: Contributors can earn up to $76 per hour, contingent upon their experience and contribution pace. Compensation varies across projects based on scope, complexity, and required expertise. Note that other projects on the platform may offer different earning levels according to their requirements.
