Experience

Qualifications

Ideal candidates will possess a degree in Physics or a closely related field, with a minimum of two years of relevant experience. Proficiency in Python is essential, and familiarity with additional programming languages will be considered an asset. Candidates should demonstrate an ability to design complex physics problems and possess strong analytical skills.

About the job

We invite you to submit your CV in English, detailing your proficiency in the language.

Mindrift connects specialized professionals with project-based opportunities in AI for top-tier technology firms, concentrating on the evaluation and enhancement of AI systems. This role is project-based and does not constitute permanent employment.

Key Responsibilities

While individual projects may vary in scope, contributors will typically be tasked with:

  • Creating original computational physics problems that reflect authentic research workflows;
  • Developing problems that necessitate Python programming for resolution (utilizing libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, and Sympy);
  • Ensuring that problems are computationally demanding, requiring extensive timeframes for manual resolution;
  • Formulating problems that involve complex reasoning in areas including mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
  • Drawing upon real research dilemmas or practical applications from the field of physics;
  • Validating solutions through Python, using established physics simulation libraries;
  • Clearly documenting problem statements along with accurate, verified solutions.

Qualifications

This opportunity is ideal for physicists with Python experience seeking part-time, non-permanent projects. The preferred qualifications include:

  • A degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or related disciplines;
  • Proficiency in Python for numerical validation, with familiarity in MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, and other domain-specific libraries being advantageous;
  • At least 2 years of professional experience, whether in applied work, research, or teaching;
  • Experience in numerical simulation methodologies;
  • A knack for designing problems that emulate real-world physics research workflows;
  • Innovative problem design skills across various physics domains;
  • Knowledge of physics modeling and approximation techniques;
  • Strong command of written English (C1+ level).

Application Process

To apply, please submit your application, complete necessary qualifications, join a project, and fulfill assigned tasks to receive payment.

Project Commitment

During active phases, tasks are estimated to require approximately 10–20 hours per week, contingent on project demands. This estimate is not a guaranteed workload and applies only while the project is ongoing.

Compensation

Contributors can earn up to $10 per hour, based on their experience level and contribution pace. Compensation rates may vary across projects, reflecting differences in scope, complexity, and expertise required. Note that other projects on the platform may offer different earning potentials based on their specific criteria.
