About the job
We invite you to submit your CV in English and specify your level of English proficiency.
Mindrift serves as a bridge connecting experts with project-based AI opportunities at leading technology firms, dedicated to testing, evaluating, and enhancing AI systems. Engagements are project-based rather than permanent positions.
Role Overview
Each project presents distinct challenges, where contributors may be tasked with:
- Crafting original computational physics problems that replicate authentic physics research processes;
- Developing problems that require Python programming skills to solve, utilizing libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, and Sympy;
- Ensuring that problems demand computational power that cannot be resolved manually within reasonable timeframes (days/weeks);
- Formulating problems that necessitate complex reasoning across mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
- Grounding problems in real-world research challenges or practical applications from the field of physics;
- Validating solutions through Python utilizing standard physics simulation libraries;
- Providing clear documentation for problem statements and supplying verified correct answers.
Candidate Profile
This role is ideal for quantum researchers with Python experience, seeking part-time, non-permanent projects. Preferred qualifications include:
- 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, domain-specific libraries, or other programming languages is acceptable;
- A minimum of 2 years of relevant professional experience in applied research or teaching;
- Experience with numerical simulation methodologies;
- Capability to design problems that reflect real physics research workflows;
- Innovative problem design skills across various physics domains;
- Understanding of physics modeling and approximation techniques;
- Excellent written English skills (C1+ level).
Project Execution
Application → Qualification process → Project onboarding → Task completion → Compensation
Estimated Project Commitment
For this role, the workload is anticipated to be around 10–20 hours per week during active project phases, dependent on project specifications. This is an estimate and not a guaranteed workload, applicable only during the project's active period.
Compensation Details
Contributors can earn up to $35 per hour, contingent on experience level and contribution pace. Compensation can vary based on project scope, complexity, and expertise requirements. Please note that different projects on the platform may offer varying compensation levels based on their specific needs.
