About the job
We invite you to submit your CV in English, including your level of English proficiency.
At Mindrift, we specialize in connecting brilliant minds with project-based AI opportunities for top tech companies, with a strong focus on testing, evaluating, and enhancing AI systems. Please note that involvement in these projects is temporary and not permanent employment.
Project Overview:
Each project presents unique challenges, with contributors expected to:
- Craft original computational physics problems that replicate authentic physics research workflows.
- Develop problems that necessitate Python programming (utilizing Numpy, SciPy, Sympy) for resolution.
- Ensure that challenges are computationally intensive, requiring days or weeks to solve manually.
- Formulate problems that involve complex reasoning in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics.
- Base scenarios on genuine research challenges or real-world applications from the field of physics.
- Validate solutions using Python and standard physics simulation libraries.
- Clearly document problem statements and provide verified correct answers.
Qualifications:
This opportunity is ideal for quantum researchers experienced in Python who are open to part-time, temporary projects. We are particularly looking for candidates who possess:
- 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 any programming language is acceptable.
- A minimum of 2 years of professional experience in applied research or teaching.
- Experience with numerical simulation techniques.
- The ability to create problems that accurately reflect real physics research workflows.
- Innovative thinking in problem design across various physics domains.
- Knowledge of physics modeling and approximation methods.
- Strong command of written English (C1 level or higher).
How the Process Works:
Apply → Pass qualifications → Join a project → Complete tasks → Get compensated.
Project Time Commitment:
For this project, contributors can expect to dedicate approximately 10–20 hours per week during active phases, depending on project needs. This is an estimate and does not guarantee a specific workload outside of project activity.
Compensation:
Contributors can earn up to $10 per hour, based on their level of expertise and contribution speed. Compensation varies across projects based on their scope, complexity, and required expertise.
