Mindrift is looking for a Chemistry & Python Expert to join as a freelance AI Trainer on project-based assignments. You'll create realistic computational chemistry problems that require Python programming, helping improve AI systems used by top technology firms.
What You'll Do
- Design original computational chemistry problems that simulate real chemistry research workflows
- Create problems requiring Python programming to solve (using numpy, scipy, chemical libraries)
- Ensure problems are computationally intensive and cannot be solved manually within reasonable timeframes (days/weeks)
- Develop problems requiring non-trivial reasoning chains in physical chemistry, quantum chemistry, and molecular modeling
- Base problems on real research challenges or practical applications from chemistry practice
- Verify solutions using Python with standard computational chemistry approaches
- Document problem statements clearly and provide verified correct answers
What We're Looking For
- Degree in Chemistry or related fields
- Python proficiency for numerical validation
- 2+ years of professional experience: applied, research, or teaching experience is applicable
- Experience with numerical methods in chemistry
- Familiarity with computational chemistry concepts and methods
- Strong written English (C1+)
Nice to Have
- MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, domain-specific libraries, Stata or knowledge of any programming language can be equivalent
Technical Stack
- Python
- Numpy
- Scipy
- chemical libraries
- MATLAB
- R
- C
- SQL
- Pandas
- Stata
Benefits & Compensation
- Project-based participation with flexible time commitment
- Opportunity to work on AI projects for leading tech companies
- Exposure to AI testing and evaluation
Compensation: $45 per hour equivalent, varies across projects depending on scope, complexity, and required expertise.
Work Mode
Part-time, non-permanent projects; 10–20 hours per week during active phases. Fully remote, open to global applicants.
