About the job

We invite you to submit your CV in English and detail your English proficiency level.

Mindrift connects talented specialists with project-based AI opportunities for some of the world's leading technology companies, focusing on the evaluation, testing, and enhancement of AI systems. Please note that participation is project-based rather than permanent employment.

Opportunity Overview

Each project presents distinct tasks, and contributors may:

  • Craft original computational physics problems that reflect real research workflows.
  • Develop Python-based problems utilizing libraries like Numpy, SciPy, and Sympy.
  • Create computationally intensive challenges that cannot be efficiently solved manually within a reasonable timeframe.
  • Design problems necessitating complex reasoning across mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics.
  • Base problems on authentic research hurdles or practical applications from the field of physics.
  • Validate solutions using Python alongside standard physics simulation libraries.
  • Clearly document problem statements and provide verified correct answers.

Ideal Candidate Profile

This opportunity suits physicists experienced in Python and willing to engage in part-time, non-permanent projects. We are particularly interested in candidates who possess:

  • A degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or a related discipline.
  • Proficiency in Python for numerical validation; knowledge of MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, or any domain-specific libraries may be considered equivalent.
  • A minimum of 2 years of professional experience in applied research or teaching.
  • Experience in numerical simulation methods.
  • The capability to design problems that mirror authentic physics research workflows.
  • Innovative problem-solving skills across various physics domains.
  • Familiarity with physics modeling and approximation techniques.
  • Excellent written English skills (C1+ level).
