About the job
We invite you to submit your CV in English, highlighting your English proficiency level.
At Mindrift, we specialize in connecting talented professionals with project-based AI opportunities at leading technology companies. Our focus is on testing, evaluating, and enhancing AI systems. Please note that participation is project-based and does not constitute permanent employment.
Opportunity Overview
Engagements may include:
- Creating innovative computational physics problems that reflect actual physics research methodologies;
- Developing challenges that necessitate Python programming for solutions (utilizing libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, and Sympy);
- Ensuring that tasks are computationally intensive, requiring days or weeks to solve manually;
- Formulating problems that involve complex reasoning in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
- Grounding problems in real-world research dilemmas or practical physics applications;
- Verifying solutions through Python using established physics simulation libraries;
- Clearly documenting problem statements and providing confirmed correct answers.
Qualifications
This role is well-suited for physicists experienced in Python, looking for part-time, non-permanent projects. Ideal candidates will possess:
- A degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or a related field;
- Proficiency in Python for numerical validation. Familiarity with MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, or similar programming languages is acceptable;
- A minimum of 2 years of relevant professional experience, including applied, research, or teaching roles;
- Experience in numerical simulation techniques;
- The ability to design problems that replicate real physics research workflows;
- Creative problem-solving skills across various areas of physics;
- Knowledge of physics modeling and approximation methods;
- Strong command of written English (C1+ level).
