About the job

We invite you to submit your CV in English, including your proficiency level in the English language.

Mindrift specializes in connecting experts with project-based AI opportunities in collaboration with top-tier technology companies, focusing on the evaluation, testing, and enhancement of AI systems. This is a project-based role and does not constitute permanent employment.

Opportunity Overview

While each project involves specific tasks, contributors may:

  • Craft original computational physics problems that reflect authentic physics research workflows;
  • Develop challenges that necessitate Python programming for resolution, utilizing libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, and Sympy;
  • Ensure that problems are computationally demanding, requiring extended resolution times (days/weeks) rather than manual solutions;
  • Create problems that demand intricate reasoning chains in areas such as mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
  • Base problems on real-world research difficulties or practical physics applications;
  • Validate solutions with Python, employing standard physics simulation libraries;
  • Clearly document problem statements and provide verified correct answers.

Qualifications

This opportunity is ideal for physicists with Python expertise who are interested in part-time, non-permanent projects. We seek contributors who possess:

  • 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, domain-specific libraries, Stata, or other programming languages will be considered equivalent;
  • A minimum of 2 years of professional experience, encompassing applied, research, or teaching roles;
  • Experience with numerical simulation techniques;
  • The capability to design problems that replicate real physics research workflows;
  • Innovative thinking in problem design across various physics domains;
  • Knowledge of physics modeling and approximation methodologies;
  • Exceptional written English skills (C1+ proficiency).

Process Overview

Application → Qualification Assessment → Project Participation → Task Completion → Payment

Time Commitment

Project tasks are estimated to require approximately 10–20 hours per week during active phases, depending on project needs. This is an estimate and not a guaranteed workload.

Compensation

Contributors have the potential to earn up to $76 per hour, contingent on their level of expertise and contribution pace. Compensation varies by project based on scope, complexity, and required skills. Note that other projects on the platform may offer different compensation rates based on their specific requirements.
