Job summary

Mindrift connects specialists with project-based AI opportunities focusing on testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems. This Mindrift project focuses on computational chemistry tasks and Python-based validation within a flexible, part-time framework.

Contributors design chemistry-related problems, implement Python solutions (NumPy/SciPy), and verify correct answers. Projects are non-permanent and time-bound, with variable workload based on active phases.

Qualifications

• Degree in chemistry or related field.
• 2+ years of professional experience: applied, research, or teaching experience is applicable.
• Experience with numerical methods in chemistry.
• Familiarity with computational chemistry concepts and methods.
• Python proficiency for numerical validation.

Responsibilities

• Design original computational chemistry problems that simulate real chemistry research workflows.
• Create problems requiring Python programming to solve (using numpy, scipy, chemical libraries).
• Ensure problems are computationally intensive and cannot be solved manually within reasonable timeframes (days/weeks).
• Develop problems requiring non-trivial reasoning chains in physical chemistry, quantum chemistry, and molecular modeling.
• Base problems on real research challenges or practical applications from chemistry practice.
• Verify solutions using Python with standard computational chemistry approaches.
• Document problem statements clearly and provide verified correct answers.

Job description

Description

Mindrift connects specialists with project-based AI opportunities for leading tech companies, focused on testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems. Participation is project-based, not permanent employment.

What this opportunity involves

While each project involves unique tasks, contributors may:

• Design original computational chemistry problems that simulate real chemistry research workflows;
• Create problems requiring Python programming to solve (using numpy, scipy, chemical libraries);
• Ensure problems are computationally intensive and cannot be solved manually within reasonable timeframes (days/weeks);
• Develop problems requiring non-trivial reasoning chains in physical chemistry, quantum chemistry, and molecular modeling;
• Base problems on real research challenges or practical applications from chemistry practice;
• Verify solutions using Python with standard computational chemistry approaches;
• Document problem statements clearly and provide verified correct answers.

What we look for

This opportunity is a good fit for chemistry specialists with experience in Python open to part-time, non-permanent projects. Ideally, contributors will have:

• Degree in chemistry or related fields;
• Python proficiency for numerical validation. MATLAB, R, C, SQL, numpy, pandas, scipy, domain-specific libraries, Stata, or knowledge of any programming language can be equivalent;
• 2+ years of professional experience: applied, research, or teaching experience is applicable;
• Experience with numerical methods in chemistry;
• Familiarity with computational chemistry concepts and methods;

Project time expectations

For this project, tasks are estimated to require around 10-20 hours per week during active phases, based on project requirements. This is an estimate, not a guaranteed workload, and applies only while the project is active.

Compensation

On this project, contributors can earn up to $35 per hour equivalent, depending on their level and pace of contribution.

Compensation varies across projects depending on scope, complexity, and required expertise. Please note that other projects on the platform may offer different earning levels based on their requirements.
