About the job
To apply, please submit your CV in English and specify your English proficiency level.
Mindrift is a pioneering platform that connects talented specialists with exciting project-based AI opportunities offered by leading technology companies. Our primary focus is on the testing, evaluation, and enhancement of AI systems. Please note that participation is project-based and does not involve permanent employment.
Opportunity Overview:
Each project presents unique challenges, and contributors may engage in the following tasks:
- Design innovative computational physics problems that emulate authentic physics research workflows;
- Create programming challenges requiring Python solutions (using libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, and Sympy);
- Ensure that problems are computationally demanding, requiring days or weeks to solve manually;
- Develop challenges that necessitate complex reasoning in fields such as mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
- Base problems on real-world research issues or practical applications in physics;
- Validate solutions using Python with established physics simulation libraries;
- Clearly document problem statements and provide verified, accurate solutions.
Candidate Profile:
This position is ideal for quantum researchers with Python experience, who are interested in flexible part-time, non-permanent projects. Preferred qualifications include:
- A degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or related fields;
- Proficiency in Python for numerical validation; familiarity with MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, or other domain-specific libraries is acceptable;
- A minimum of 2 years of professional experience in applied research or teaching;
- Experience with numerical simulation methodologies;
- Ability to craft problems that reflect real physics research workflows;
- Creative problem-solving skills across various physics domains;
- Familiarity with physics modeling and approximation techniques;
- Strong written communication skills in English (C1 or higher).
Application Process:
Apply → Meet qualification requirements → Join a project → Complete tasks → Get compensated
Project Commitment:
For this project, tasks are projected to require approximately 10-20 hours per week during active phases, depending on project needs. This estimate is not a guaranteed workload and applies only while the project is ongoing.
Compensation:
Contributors can earn up to $35 per hour, contingent upon experience and contribution pace. Note that compensation may vary across projects depending on their complexity and required expertise.
