About the job
Please submit your CV in English, including your proficiency level in English.
At Toloka AI, we connect talented specialists with exciting project-based AI opportunities for leading technology companies. Our focus is on testing, evaluating, and enhancing AI systems. This role is project-based and does not constitute permanent employment.
What You Will Do:
As a contributor, you will engage in unique tasks tailored to each project, including:
- Crafting original computational physics problems that emulate real-world physics research workflows;
- Designing problems that necessitate Python programming solutions (utilizing libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, and Sympy);
- Ensuring that the problems are computationally demanding and cannot be solved manually in a reasonable timeframe (e.g., days or weeks);
- Creating problems that require complex reasoning in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
- Grounding problems in actual research challenges or practical applications from the field of physics;
- Validating solutions using Python and standard physics simulation libraries;
- Documenting problem statements in detail and providing verified correct solutions.
Who We Are Looking For:
We seek individuals with a strong background in physics and Python, willing to engage in part-time, non-permanent projects. Ideally, candidates should possess:
- A degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or a related field;
- Proficiency in Python for numerical validation, with knowledge of MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, or other programming languages being acceptable;
- A minimum of 2 years of professional experience in applied research or teaching;
- Experience with numerical simulation methods;
- The ability to design problems reflective of genuine physics research workflows;
- Creative problem-solving skills across various physics disciplines;
- Familiarity with physics modeling and approximation techniques;
- Exceptional written English skills (C1 or higher).
How the Process Works:
Apply → Pass qualifications → Join a project → Complete tasks → Get compensated
Project Expectations:
For this project, it is estimated that you will need to commit approximately 10–20 hours per week during active phases, based on the specific project requirements. This is an estimate and not a guaranteed workload.
Compensation:
Participants can earn up to $35 per hour, depending on their expertise and contribution pace. Compensation may vary across projects based on scope, complexity, and required expertise. Please be aware that other projects on our platform may offer different earning potentials.
