Physics Expert with Python - Freelance AI Trainer

Overview

This role is a project-based opportunity with Mindrift for specialists who contribute to the evaluation and improvement of AI systems for major technology clients. The work is not a permanent job; instead, you participate in individual projects as they become available.

Applicants should submit a CV in English and clearly state their English proficiency level.

What you will do

• Develop original computational physics questions that reflect authentic research-style workflows.
• Write problems that require Python to solve, using tools such as NumPy, SciPy, and SymPy.
• Build tasks that are sufficiently complex to resist manual solution within a practical timeframe, often taking days or weeks.
• Create non-trivial reasoning challenges across mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics.
• Ground problem ideas in real-world physics research or practical applications.
• Check answers by validating them in Python with standard physics and simulation libraries.
• Present problem statements in a clear format and supply verified correct solutions.

Candidate profile

This opportunity is suited to physics professionals who also have Python experience and are open to part-time, non-permanent project work.

• A degree in Physics, whether theoretical, experimental, or computational, or in a closely related discipline.
• Working knowledge of Python for numerical validation; equivalent experience with MATLAB, R, C, SQL, NumPy, Pandas, SciPy, specialist libraries, Stata, or another programming language is also acceptable.
• At least 2 years of relevant experience, which may come from applied, research, or teaching work.
• Hands-on exposure to numerical simulation techniques.
• The ability to create questions that closely resemble genuine physics research tasks.
• Inventive problem-design skills across a broad range of physics topics.
• Familiarity with physics modelling and approximation methods.
• Strong written English at C1 level or above.

How the project process works

You apply, complete the required qualification step(s), join an appropriate project, carry out the assigned tasks, and receive payment for the work completed.

Time commitment

During active periods, the expected workload for this project is about 10 to 20 hours per week. This is only an estimate and is not guaranteed; it applies only while the project is active.

Compensation

Contributors on this project may earn up to the equivalent of USD 35 per hour, depending on contribution speed and individual level. Pay can differ from one project to another based on scope, difficulty, and the expertise required.

Additional information

Participation is project-based and does not constitute permanent employment.
