Physics Researcher (Python) - Freelance AI Trainer
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.
Please submit your CV in English and indicate your level of English proficiency.
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.
