Mindrift connects specialists with project-based AI opportunities for leading tech companies, focusing on testing, evaluating, and enhancing AI systems. This role is project-based and does not offer permanent employment.
Opportunity Overview
Each project presents distinct tasks, which may include:
- Crafting original computational physics problems that emulate authentic physics research workflows;
- Formulating problems that necessitate Python programming for resolution (utilizing Numpy, SciPy, Sympy);
- Ensuring challenges are computationally intensive, requiring more than just manual solutions within reasonable timeframes (days/weeks);
- Designing problems that demand intricate reasoning in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
- Utilizing real research challenges or practical applications from the field of physics as the foundation for problems;
- Validating solutions through Python and standard physics simulation libraries;
- Providing clear documentation of problem statements along with verified correct answers.
Ideal Candidate Profile
This opportunity is well-suited for physicists with Python expertise who are open to part-time, non-permanent projects. 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, and other domain-specific libraries is also acceptable;
- A minimum of 2 years of professional experience, including applied, research, or teaching roles;
- Experience with numerical simulation techniques;
- Capability to design problems that reflect actual physics research workflows;
- Inventive problem design across various physics domains;
- Understanding of physics modeling and approximation strategies;
- Strong written English skills (C1 or above).
Application Process
Apply → Pass qualifications → Participate in a project → Complete assigned tasks → Receive payment.
Project Commitment
Tasks are anticipated to require approximately 10–20 hours per week during active phases, based on project needs. This is an estimate and not a guaranteed workload, applicable only during active project periods.
Compensation Details
Contributors may earn up to $29 per hour, contingent upon their level of expertise and contribution pace. Note that compensation may vary across projects depending on their scope, complexity, and required skill sets.
