About the job
Mindrift offers project-based roles for chemistry professionals with strong Python skills. Work is remote and focuses on developing and validating computational chemistry problems for AI training. These are temporary assignments, not permanent positions.
What you will do
- Create original computational chemistry problems that reflect real research workflows.
- Design problems that require Python solutions, using libraries such as NumPy, SciPy, and chemistry-specific packages.
- Ensure each problem is computationally intensive, beyond what could be solved manually within days or weeks.
- Develop scenarios needing complex reasoning in fields like physical chemistry, quantum chemistry, and molecular modeling.
- Base your work on actual research challenges or practical chemistry applications.
- Validate solutions in Python using established computational chemistry methods.
- Document each problem clearly and provide verified answers.
Requirements
- Degree in Chemistry or a related field.
- Proficiency in Python for numerical validation. Experience with MATLAB, R, C, SQL, NumPy, Pandas, SciPy, or other programming languages is also acceptable.
- At least 2 years of professional experience in applied, research, or educational settings.
- Familiarity with numerical methods and computational chemistry concepts.
- Strong written English skills at C1 level or higher.
How to apply
Submit your CV in English and specify your English proficiency. The process: apply, complete qualifications, join a project, execute tasks, and receive payment.
Time commitment
Expect to spend about 10–20 hours per week during active project phases. Actual workload may vary depending on project needs.
Compensation
Earn up to $35 per hour, depending on contribution and project complexity. Pay rates may vary for different projects on the platform.
