About the job
Please submit your CV in English and indicate your level of English proficiency.
At Mindrift, we specialize in connecting talented professionals with innovative, project-based AI opportunities for top technology firms. Our focus is on testing, evaluating, and enhancing AI systems. Note: This is a project-based opportunity, not permanent employment.
What You'll Be Doing
Each project presents distinct challenges, including:
- Creating original computational physics problems that model real-world physics research workflows;
- Designing problems that necessitate Python programming for resolution (utilizing libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, and Sympy);
- Ensuring that the problems are computationally demanding and cannot be resolved manually in a reasonable timeframe (days or weeks);
- Formulating problems that require complex reasoning across mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
- Developing challenges inspired by actual research questions or practical applications in the field of physics;
- Validating solutions through Python using established physics simulation libraries;
- Clearly documenting problem statements and providing verified correct answers.
Ideal Candidate Profile
This role suits quantum researchers with Python experience who are open to part-time, non-permanent engagements. The 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 any domain-specific libraries is also acceptable;
- A minimum of 2 years of professional experience, which can include applied research or teaching;
- Experience with numerical simulation techniques;
- The ability to create problems that reflect authentic physics research workflows;
- Innovative thinking in problem design across various physics domains;
- Familiarity with physics modeling and approximation methods;
- Strong written English skills (C1 or higher).
