About the job

We invite you to submit your CV in English and specify your English proficiency level.

Mindrift specializes in linking experts with project-based AI opportunities in leading technology firms, concentrating on the testing, evaluation, and enhancement of AI systems. This is a project-based role, not a permanent position.

Opportunity Overview

While each project presents distinct tasks, contributors may be required to:

  • Devise innovative computational physics problems that emulate authentic physics research workflows;
  • Generate problems that necessitate Python programming for resolution (utilizing Numpy, SciPy, Sympy);
  • Ensure that tasks are computationally intensive, making manual resolution impractical within reasonable timeframes (days/weeks);
  • Create problems that involve complex reasoning chains within mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
  • Base problems on actual research challenges or practical applications relevant to the field of physics;
  • Validate solutions using Python with established physics simulation libraries;
  • Clearly document problem statements and provide verified correct answers.

Candidate Profile

This role is ideal for quantum researchers proficient in Python who are open to part-time, non-permanent projects. Preferred qualifications include:

  • A degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or a related discipline;
  • Proficiency in Python for numerical validation; equivalent skills in MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, or other programming languages will also be considered;
  • A minimum of 2 years of professional experience in applied research or teaching;
  • Experience with numerical simulation techniques;
  • The ability to create problems that reflect genuine physics research workflows;
  • Creative thinking in problem design across diverse areas of physics;
  • Familiarity with physics modeling and approximation methodologies;
  • Exceptional written English skills (C1+ level).

Project Engagement Process

Apply → Complete qualifications → Join a project → Fulfill tasks → Receive payment.

Project Commitment Expectations

During active phases, tasks are estimated to require approximately 10-20 hours per week, subject to project specifications. This is an estimated workload and not a guaranteed commitment.

Compensation

Contributors on this project can earn up to $76 per hour, depending on their expertise and contribution pace. Compensation varies by project based on scope, complexity, and required skills; note that other projects may offer different earning potential based on their unique needs.
