Job summary

Mindrift offers project-based, part-time opportunities for physicists to design and test optics problems that mirror real research workflows. Contributors work on non-permanent assignments, developing problems across mechanics, EM, thermodynamics, and quantum physics.

You’ll document statements and provide verified solutions, with compensation aligned to per-hour project work. Roles emphasize creativity and rigorous problem design, suitable for those seeking flexible, non-permanent engagement

Qualifications

• Degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or related fields.
• 2+ years of professional experience: applied, research, or teaching experience is applicable.
• Experience with numerical simulation methods.
• Ability to design problems that mirror real physics research workflows.
• Creative thinking in problem design across diverse physics areas.
• Familiarity with physics modeling and approximation techniques.

Responsibilities

• Design original optics problems that simulate real physics research workflows.
• Ensure problems are computationally intensive and cannot be solved manually within reasonable timeframes (days/weeks).
• Develop problems requiring non-trivial reasoning chains in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics.
• Base problems on real research challenges or practical applications from optics & physics practice.
• Document problem statements clearly and provide verified correct answers.
