About the job
Please submit your CV in English and specify your English proficiency level.
Mindrift is at the forefront of bridging specialists with project-based AI opportunities across top tech companies, dedicated to the enhancement and evaluation of AI systems. Please note that involvement is project-based and does not entail permanent employment.
Opportunity Overview
Each project presents unique challenges, where contributors may:
- Devise innovative computational physics problems that reflect authentic research workflows;
- Formulate problems necessitating Python programming for resolution (utilizing libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, Sympy);
- Ensure that the problems are computationally demanding and cannot be solved manually within feasible timeframes (days/weeks);
- Create problems that involve complex reasoning in fields including mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
- Base problems on genuine research dilemmas or practical applications from the field of physics;
- Validate solutions using Python with established physics simulation libraries;
- Clearly document problem statements and provide verified correct answers.
Preferred Qualifications
This opportunity suits individuals with a background in physics who are experienced in Python and are open to 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; knowledge of MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, or domain-specific libraries can also be considered;
- Over 2 years of professional experience in application, research, or teaching;
- Experience with numerical simulation techniques;
- The ability to design problems that emulate real physics research workflows;
- Creativity in problem design across a variety of physics domains;
- Familiarity with physics modeling and approximation methods;
- Strong command of written English (C1+ level).
