Mindrift connects talented specialists with project-based AI opportunities for prominent technology firms, focusing on the testing, evaluation, and enhancement of AI systems. This is a project-based engagement, not a permanent position.
Role Overview
Contributors will engage in diverse tasks across projects, which may include:
- Designing innovative computational physics problems that replicate authentic research workflows;
- Creating challenges that require Python programming for resolution (utilizing libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, Sympy);
- Ensuring the tasks are computationally intensive and cannot be solved manually within a reasonable time frame (days to weeks);
- Developing problems that necessitate complex reasoning across various physics domains including mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
- Grounding problems in real-world research issues or practical applications in physics;
- Verifying solutions through Python using standard physics simulation libraries;
- Clearly documenting problem statements and providing validated correct answers.
Candidate Requirements
This position suits physicists experienced in Python who are open to part-time, non-permanent projects. Ideal candidates 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, and other domain-specific libraries is advantageous;
- A minimum of 2 years of professional experience in applied research or teaching;
- Experience with numerical simulation methodologies;
- The ability to design problems reflective of real physics research workflows;
- Creative problem-solving skills across various physics disciplines;
- Familiarity with physics modeling and approximation techniques;
- Strong written English skills (C1+ level).
Application Process
Apply → Pass qualifications → Join a project → Complete tasks → Receive compensation
Project Timeframe
Tasks are estimated to require approximately 10–20 hours per week during active phases, based on project demands. This is an estimate and may vary as per project activity.
Compensation
Contributors can earn up to $14 per hour, contingent on their experience and contribution pace. Compensation varies across projects based on their complexity and required expertise. Other projects on the platform may present different earning potential.
