About the job
Kindly submit your CV in English, specifying your level of English proficiency.
Mindrift connects skilled professionals with project-based AI opportunities, collaborating with leading tech companies to assess, evaluate, and enhance AI systems. This is a project-based role, not a permanent position.
Opportunity Overview:
As a contributor, you may:
- Develop innovative computational physics challenges that replicate actual physics research workflows;
- Create tasks that necessitate Python programming solutions (utilizing libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, Sympy);
- Ensure challenges are computationally demanding and cannot be solved manually within feasible time frames;
- Formulate problems that involve complex reasoning in areas such as mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
- Base tasks on authentic research difficulties or practical applications from physics;
- Validate solutions using Python with established physics simulation libraries;
- Clearly document problem statements and provide verified correct answers.
Qualifications:
This role is ideal for physicists experienced in Python, seeking flexible, part-time, non-permanent projects. Preferred qualifications include:
- A degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or a related field;
- Proficiency in Python for numerical validation; experience in MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, or other programming languages is also acceptable;
- A minimum of 2 years of professional experience, which can include applied, research, or teaching roles;
- Familiarity with numerical simulation techniques;
- Capability to design problems that reflect real-world physics research practices;
- Creative problem design skills across various physics domains;
- Strong written English skills (C1+ level).

Project Time Commitment:
Active phases of this project will require an estimated 10–20 hours per week, contingent on project demands. This is an approximation, not a guaranteed workload, applicable only during the project's active phase.
Compensation:
Contributors can earn up to $29 per hour, depending on their skill level and contribution pace. Compensation varies by project based on scope, complexity, and required expertise. Note that other projects on the platform may present different earning potential based on their unique requirements.
