About the job
Please submit your CV in English, along with your English proficiency level.
Mindrift specializes in connecting talented professionals with project-based AI opportunities for top-tier technology companies. Our focus is on evaluating, testing, and enhancing AI systems. Note that participation is project-based and does not constitute permanent employment.
Opportunity Overview
Each project presents unique challenges. As a contributor, you may:
- Craft innovative computational physics problems that emulate genuine research workflows;
- Develop problems that necessitate Python programming solutions (utilizing libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, and Sympy);
- Ensure that problems are computationally demanding and cannot be resolved manually within practical timeframes (days/weeks);
- Create problems that involve complex reasoning in areas such as mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
- Base challenges on real-world research issues or practical applications relevant to the field of physics;
- Verify solutions via Python, employing standard physics simulation libraries;
- Clearly document problem statements and provide validated correct answers.
Desired Qualifications
This role suits individuals with a background in physics and experience in Python, seeking part-time, project-based engagements. Ideal candidates will possess:
- A degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or a related discipline;
- Proficiency in Python for numerical validation. Experience with MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, or comparable programming languages is acceptable;
- A minimum of 2 years of professional experience, including applied, research, or teaching roles;
- Experience with numerical simulation techniques;
- The ability to design problems that reflect actual physics research methodologies;
- Creative problem-solving skills across various physics domains;
- Familiarity with physics modeling and approximation methods;
- Strong command of written English (C1+ level).
