About the job
We invite you to submit your CV in English, clearly indicating your level of English proficiency.
At Mindrift, we specialize in connecting talented professionals with innovative, project-based AI opportunities for leading technology companies. Our focus is on testing, evaluating, and enhancing AI systems across various domains. Please note that participation in our projects is temporary and not a permanent employment opportunity.
Opportunity Overview
While each project presents its own unique challenges, contributors can expect to:
- Design original computational physics problems that reflect authentic physics research workflows;
- Create challenges requiring advanced Python programming skills (including Numpy, SciPy, and Sympy) to find solutions;
- Ensure that problems are computationally demanding and cannot be resolved manually within practical timeframes (days or weeks);
- Develop scenarios necessitating intricate reasoning within mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
- Base problems on genuine research hurdles or practical applications in the field of physics;
- Validate solutions utilizing Python with standard physics simulation libraries;
- Clearly document problem statements and provide verified correct answers.
Ideal Candidate Profile
This role is well-suited for physicists experienced in Python who are open to part-time, non-permanent projects. The ideal candidates will possess:
- A degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or a related field;
- Proficiency in Python for numerical validation, with familiarity in MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, and/or other programming languages considered equivalent;
- A minimum of 2 years of professional experience, encompassing applied physics, research, or teaching roles;
- Experience with numerical simulation methods;
- The capability to design problems that accurately mirror real physics research workflows;
- Creative problem-solving skills across various areas of physics;
- Familiarity with physics modeling and approximation techniques;
- Strong written English skills (C1 level or above).
