About the job
We invite you to submit your CV in English, clearly indicating your level of proficiency in the language.
Mindrift is dedicated to connecting talented specialists with project-based opportunities in the realm of artificial intelligence, specifically for leading technology firms. Our focus lies in the rigorous testing, evaluation, and enhancement of AI systems. Please note that participation is strictly project-based and does not constitute permanent employment.
Opportunity Overview
As a contributor, you will engage in various unique projects, which may include:
- Crafting innovative computational physics problems that emulate authentic research workflows;
- Formulating problems that necessitate Python programming for resolution (utilizing libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, Sympy);
- Ensuring that the problems are computationally demanding and cannot be solved manually within a reasonable timeframe (days/weeks);
- Developing challenges that require intricate reasoning chains across mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
- Grounding problems in genuine research challenges or practical applications within the field of physics;
- Validating solutions using Python alongside standard physics simulation libraries;
- Clearly documenting problem statements and providing verified solutions.
Candidate Profile
This opportunity is ideal for physicists with experience in Python who are open to part-time, non-permanent project work. Preferred qualifications include:
- 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, or any domain-specific programming language is also acceptable;
- A minimum of 2 years of professional experience in applied physics, research, or teaching;
- Experience with numerical simulation methods;
- The capability to design problems that reflect real-world physics research workflows;
- Creative problem design skills across various physics domains;
- A solid understanding of physics modeling and approximation techniques;
- Strong written English skills (C1+ level).
Application Process
To apply, please follow these steps: Submit your application → Pass the qualification assessments → Join a project → Complete the assigned tasks → Receive your compensation.
Project Time Commitment
During active project phases, tasks are expected to require approximately 10–20 hours per week, depending on specific project needs. This is an estimate and not a guaranteed workload.
Compensation
Contributors can earn up to $26 per hour, contingent on their level of expertise and contribution speed. Compensation may vary across projects based on their scope, complexity, and the expertise required. Additionally, other projects within the platform may offer different earning potentials based on their specific requirements.
