About the job
We encourage you to submit your CV in English and specify your English proficiency level.
At Mindrift, we specialize in connecting talented individuals with project-based AI opportunities at leading technology companies. Our focus is on evaluating, testing, and enhancing AI systems. Note that this is a project-based engagement, not a permanent position.
Opportunity Overview
Each project presents distinct tasks for contributors, which may include:
- Crafting original computational physics problems that replicate genuine physics research workflows;
- Formulating challenges that necessitate Python programming for resolution (utilizing libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, Sympy);
- Ensuring that problems are computationally intensive and cannot be resolved manually within reasonable time frames (days/weeks);
- Developing problems that demand complex reasoning in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
- Grounding problems in real-world research challenges or practical applications within the field of physics;
- Verifying solutions through Python using standard physics simulation libraries;
- Clearly documenting problem statements and providing validated correct answers.
Candidate Profile
We are looking for quantum researchers with Python experience who are open to part-time, non-permanent projects. 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, or any domain-specific libraries being a plus;
- A minimum of 2 years of relevant professional experience, which can include applied work, research, or teaching;
- Experience with numerical simulation methods;
- The capability to design problems that reflect actual physics research workflows;
- Creative problem-solving skills across various physics disciplines;
- Familiarity with physics modeling and approximation techniques;
- Excellent written English skills (C1+ level).
How to Participate
Steps to get involved: Apply → Pass qualifications → Join a project → Complete tasks → Get compensated.
Project Commitment
For this project, contributors should expect to dedicate approximately 10–20 hours per week during active phases, contingent on project requirements. This estimate is not a guaranteed workload and applies only while the project is active.
Compensation
Contributors can earn up to $14 per hour, depending on their expertise and contribution pace. Compensation varies across projects based on their complexity and required skill set. Please be aware that different projects on the platform may offer varied earning potential based on specific requirements.
