About the job
We invite you to submit your CV in English, specifying your level of English proficiency.
Mindrift specializes in connecting experts with project-based AI opportunities for premier technology firms, focusing on the testing, evaluation, and enhancement of AI systems. This is a project-based opportunity and does not constitute permanent employment.
About the Role
As a contributor, you will engage in unique project tasks, including:
- Designing original computational physics challenges that replicate real-world physics research processes;
- Creating programming problems that necessitate the use of Python (Numpy, SciPy, Sympy) for solutions;
- Ensuring that the tasks are computationally demanding, requiring substantial time (days/weeks) to solve manually;
- Developing complex problems that entail intricate reasoning across mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
- Formulating problems rooted in genuine research challenges or applicable scenarios from physics;
- Validating solutions using Python alongside standard physics simulation libraries;
- Documenting problem statements with clarity and providing verified accurate answers.
Candidate Profile
This role is ideal for quantum researchers with Python expertise who are open to part-time, non-permanent projects. Ideal candidates will possess:
- A degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or equivalent fields;
- Proficiency in Python for numerical validation; knowledge of MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, or other domain-specific libraries is also accepted;
- A minimum of 2 years of professional experience in applied research or teaching;
- Familiarity with numerical simulation methods;
- The ability to create problems that reflect authentic physics research workflows;
- Innovative problem design across various physics domains;
- An understanding of physics modeling and approximation techniques;
- Strong written English proficiency (C1+ level).
Process Overview
Apply → Pass qualification(s) → Join a project → Complete tasks → Receive compensation.
Project Commitment
Tasks are estimated to require approximately 10–20 hours per week during active project phases, based on specific project demands. This is an estimate and not a guaranteed workload, applicable only while the project is live.
Compensation
Contributors can earn up to $45 per hour, contingent on their level of expertise and contribution pace. Please note that compensation may vary across different projects based on their scope, complexity, and required skills.
