Qualifications

This role is tailored for quantum researchers with Python experience who are interested in part-time, non-permanent project opportunities. Candidates should ideally possess:A degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or closely related fields;Expertise in Python for numerical validation. Familiarity with MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, or any equivalent programming languages is acceptable;At least 2 years of professional experience in applied, research, or teaching settings;Knowledge of numerical simulation techniques;Ability to formulate problems that reflect genuine physics research workflows;Creative problem-solving skills across diverse physics domains;Familiarity with physics modeling and approximation methods;Strong written English proficiency (C1 level or higher).

About the job

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

Mindrift specializes in connecting experts with project-based AI tasks for leading tech firms, focused on the testing, evaluation, and enhancement of AI systems. This is a project-based engagement, not permanent employment.

What You Will Contribute

Each project comes with its own distinctive tasks, including but not limited to:

  • Crafting original computational physics problems that replicate authentic physics research workflows;
  • Developing problems that require Python programming for solutions (utilizing libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, and Sympy);
  • Ensuring the problems are computationally demanding and cannot be solved manually within practical time constraints (days/weeks);
  • Formulating problems that necessitate complex reasoning chains in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
  • Grounding problems in real research challenges or practical applications derived from physics;
  • Validating solutions using Python with established physics simulation libraries;
  • Clearly documenting problem statements and providing verified correct solutions.

Ideal Candidate Profile

This role is perfect for quantum researchers proficient in Python who are open to part-time, non-permanent project work. Ideally, you will possess:

  • A degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or related fields;
  • Proficiency in Python for numerical validation. Familiarity with MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, or any equivalent programming languages is acceptable;
  • 2+ years of professional experience in applied, research, or teaching settings;
  • Experience with numerical simulation methodologies;
  • The capacity to design problems that reflect real physics research workflows;
  • Innovative thinking in problem design across various fields of physics;
  • Familiarity with physics modeling and approximation techniques;
  • Strong written English skills (C1+ level).
