About the job
Please submit your CV in English along with your level of English proficiency.
Mindrift is at the forefront of connecting talented specialists with project-based AI opportunities for leading technology firms. Our focus lies in the testing, evaluation, and enhancement of AI systems. Please note that this engagement is project-based and does not constitute permanent employment.
Opportunity Overview
As a contributor, you will have the chance to:
- Craft unique computational physics problems that reflect authentic physics research workflows;
- Develop challenges that necessitate Python programming for solutions (utilizing libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, and Sympy);
- Create computationally demanding problems that cannot be manually resolved in a reasonable timeframe;
- Design scenarios that require complex reasoning in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
- Base problems on genuine research challenges or practical applications in the field of physics;
- Validate solutions via Python using standard physics simulation libraries;
- Clearly document problem statements and provide verified correct solutions.
Candidate Profile
This role is suitable 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 related disciplines;
- 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 professional experience in applied physics, research, or teaching;
- Experience with numerical simulation methodologies;
- Capability to design problems that replicate real-world physics research workflows;
- Creative problem-solving skills across various physics domains;
- Familiarity with physics modeling and approximation techniques;
- Strong command of English (C1+).
