Job Summary

Mindrift offers flexible, project-based AI collaboration opportunities for experienced physicists globally (remote, contract). Contributors craft and validate rigorous physics problems, assess AI-generated solutions, and perform numerical checks using Python tools like NumPy, Pandas, and SciPy. Participants work part-time, averaging 10–20 hours weekly during active project phases, with compensation up to $36/hour. Projects are non-permanent, and compensation may vary.

Applicants should have a degree in Physics or related field, at least 3 years of professional experience, proficiency in Python for validation tasks, and strong written English (C1/C2). Certifications like CPhys, EurPhys, or MInstP and experience in international or applied projects are advantageous. A stable internet connection is required.

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 rigorous physics problems reflecting professional practice;
  • Evaluate AI solutions for correctness, assumptions, and constraints;
  • Validate calculations or simulations using Python (NumPy, Pandas, SciPy);
  • Improve AI reasoning to align with industry-standard logic;
  • Apply structured scoring criteria to multi-step problems.

What we look for

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

  • Degree in Physics or related fields, e.g. Engineering Physics, Thermodynamics, Statistical Mechanics, Optics and Acoustics, etc.
  • 3+ years of professional physics experience
  • Strong written English (C1/C2)
  • Strong Python proficiency for numerical validation
  • Stable internet connection 

Professional certifications (e.g., CPhys, EurPhys, MInstP) and experience in international or applied projects are an advantage.

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 $36 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.
