Mindrift fosters connections between specialists and project-based AI opportunities with leading tech firms, concentrating on the testing, evaluation, and enhancement of AI systems. Note: Participation is based on project work, not permanent employment.

Overview of the Opportunity

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

  • Crafting original computational physics problems that reflect authentic physics research workflows;
  • Developing problems that necessitate Python programming for resolution (utilizing libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, Sympy);
  • Ensuring that problems are computationally demanding and cannot be resolved manually within a reasonable timeframe (days/weeks);
  • Creating challenges that require complex reasoning in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
  • Base problems on actual research hurdles or practical applications from the field of physics;
  • Validating solutions using Python with established physics simulation libraries;
  • Clearly documenting problem statements and providing verified correct solutions.

Desired Qualifications

This position is ideal for physicists experienced in Python who are open to part-time, temporary projects. The ideal candidates will possess:

  • A degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or related fields;
  • Proficiency in Python for numerical validation. Experience with MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, domain-specific libraries, Stata, or familiarity with any programming language is acceptable;
  • A minimum of 2 years of professional experience, which may include applied, research, or teaching experience;
  • Familiarity with numerical simulation techniques;
  • The capability to design problems that replicate genuine physics research workflows;
  • Creative problem-solving skills across various physics disciplines;
  • An understanding of physics modeling and approximation methods;
  • Strong command of written English (C1+).
