FULL DESCRIPTION
Research Physicist with Python Experience - Freelance AI Trainer
[Employer hidden — sign up to reveal] - Remote - Part-time - Mid-Senior level
Overview
[Employer hidden — sign up to reveal] 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
- 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 (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 physics practice;
- Verify solutions using Python with standard physics simulation libraries;
- Document problem statements clearly and provide verified correct answers.
What We Look For
This opportunity is a good fit for physicists with experience in Python open to part-time, non-permanent projects. Ideally, contributors will have:
- 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 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;
- Strong written English (C1+).
