About the job
Kindly submit your CV in English, specifying your English proficiency level.
Mindrift connects talented specialists with exciting, project-based AI opportunities for top technology firms, focusing on the testing, evaluation, and enhancement of AI systems. This is a project-based opportunity, not a permanent position.
What this role entails
While each project presents distinctive tasks, contributors may be expected to:
- Devise innovative computational physics problems that replicate authentic physics research workflows;
- Formulate problems that necessitate Python programming for solutions (utilizing libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, Sympy);
- Ensure problems are computationally intensive and cannot be addressed manually within reasonable timeframes (days/weeks);
- Create problems involving complex reasoning chains in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
- Base problems on genuine research challenges or practical applications from the field of physics;
- Verify solutions using Python and standard physics simulation libraries;
- Clearly document problem statements and provide verified correct answers.
Desired qualifications
This opportunity is ideal for physicists with experience in Python, looking for part-time, non-permanent projects. 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, domain-specific libraries, or any programming language is acceptable;
- A minimum of 2 years of professional experience: applicable in applied research or teaching;
- Experience with numerical simulation methods;
- The ability to craft problems that closely reflect genuine physics research workflows;
- Creative thinking in problem design across various physics domains;
- Familiarity with physics modeling and approximation techniques;
- Strong written English skills (C1+).

Project Commitment
For this project, tasks are estimated to require approximately 10–20 hours per week during active phases, based on project needs. This is an estimate and not a guaranteed workload, valid only while the project is active.
Compensation
Contributors can earn up to $35 per hour, depending on their experience and contribution pace. Compensation varies across projects based on scope, complexity, and required skill set. Other projects on the platform may offer different earning levels based on their specific requirements.
