Quantum Research Scientist With Python - Freelance AI Trainer

Mindrift connects specialists with project-based AI opportunities in testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems, focusing on physics problem design and validation.

Location: Philippines

Salary: up to $10 per hour

Responsibilities

• Design original computational physics problems that simulate real physics research workflows
• Create problems requiring Python programming to solve (using Numpy, SciPy, Sympy)
• Ensure problems are computationally intensive and cannot be solved manually within reasonable timeframes
• Develop problems requiring non-trivial reasoning chains in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics
• Base problems on real research challenges or practical applications from physics practice
• Verify solutions using Python with standard physics simulation libraries
• Document problem statements clearly and provide verified correct answers

Requirements

• Degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or related fields
• Python proficiency for numerical validation (MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, domain-specific libraries, Stata or knowledge of any programming language can be equivalent)
• 2+ years of professional experience (applied, research, or teaching experience)
• 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
• Strong written English (C1+)
