About the job
We invite you to submit your CV in English and specify your level of English proficiency.
Mindrift connects talented specialists with project-based AI opportunities for top technology firms, aiming to enhance the testing, evaluation, and advancement of AI systems. Please note that this is a project-based engagement, not a permanent role.
Overview of the Role
While each project presents distinct challenges, contributors may:
- Devise original computational physics problems that emulate authentic physics research workflows;
- Develop problems that necessitate Python programming for resolution (utilizing libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, and Sympy);
- Ensure that problems are computationally demanding and cannot be solved manually within practical timeframes (days/weeks);
- Create problems that require complex reasoning across mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
- Base problems on genuine research challenges or practical applications within the field of physics;
- Validate solutions using Python alongside standard physics simulation libraries;
- Clearly document problem statements and provide verified correct answers.
Qualifications We Seek
This position is ideally suited for quantum researchers proficient in Python, 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 any programming language are acceptable;
- At least 2 years of professional experience in applied research or teaching;
- Experience with numerical simulation techniques;
- Capability to design problems that reflect real-world physics research workflows;
- Innovative thinking in problem design across various physics sectors;
- Familiarity with physics modeling and approximation strategies;
- Strong written communication skills in English (C1 level or higher).
How the Process Works
Apply → Meet qualifications → Join a project → Complete assigned tasks → Receive compensation.
Project Time Commitment
Tasks for this project are anticipated to require approximately 10–20 hours per week during active phases, depending on project needs. This is an estimate and not a guaranteed workload.
Compensation
Contributors can earn up to $76 per hour, based on their level of expertise and contribution pace. Compensation may vary by project, reflecting its scope, complexity, and required skills. Note that other projects on the platform may offer different compensation rates based on their specific requirements.
