Freelance Research Physicist – Python AI Trainer

About the role

We are looking for a freelance research physicist to design and deliver computational physics problems for AI training projects. The role is project‑based, remote and suitable for candidates with strong Python programming skills and a solid background in physics.

Key responsibilities

• Design original computational physics problems that reflect real research workflows across mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics and quantum mechanics.
• Create Python‑based tasks using libraries such as NumPy, SciPy and SymPy, ensuring they are computationally intensive and cannot be solved manually within reasonable timeframes.
• Validate solutions with Python and standard physics simulation libraries.
• Document problem statements clearly and provide verified correct answers.
• Collaborate with the AI‑training team to align problems with project objectives.

Required profile

• Degree in Physics (theoretical, experimental or computational) or a closely related field.
• At least 2 years of professional experience in research, applied physics or teaching.
• Strong written English proficiency (C1 level or higher).
• Ability to think creatively and design problems that mirror real‑world physics challenges.

Required skills

• Python programming.
• NumPy, SciPy, SymPy.
• MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Pandas (any of these are considered equivalent).
• Experience with numerical simulation methods and physics modeling libraries.

What we offer

• Project‑based freelance contract with flexible hours (estimated 10‑20 hours per week during active phases).
• Compensation up to $35 per hour, depending on expertise and contribution speed.
• Opportunity to work on cutting‑edge AI training projects for leading tech companies.
