Job summary

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

This opportunity suits physicists with Python experience, available for part-time, non-permanent projects. Expected workload is 10–20 hours per week during active phases, at up to $35 per hour equivalent depending on level and pace.

Qualifications

• Degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or related field.
• Proficiency in Python for numerical validation.
• 2+ years of professional experience in applied, research, or teaching roles.
• Experience with numerical simulation methods.
• Ability to design problems mirroring real physics workflows.
• Creative thinker with physics modeling and approximation knowledge.

Responsibilities

• Design original computational physics problems simulating real physics research workflows.
• Create problems requiring Python programming to solve (using NumPy, SciPy, SymPy).
• Ensure problems are computationally intensive and not solvable manually within days/weeks.
• Develop problems requiring non-trivial reasoning in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics.
• Base problems on real research challenges or practical physics applications.
• Verify solutions using Python with standard physics simulation libraries.
• Document problem statements clearly and provide verified correct answers.
