Mindrift is looking for a Statistics & Python Expert to contribute to project-based AI training initiatives. In this freelance role, you will design and solve complex statistical and mathematical problems using Python, simulating authentic research challenges that require deep reasoning and computational validation.
What You'll Do
- Design original computational statistics problems that simulate real mathematical 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 areas like number theory, combinatorics, graph theory, and numerical analysis
- Base problems on real research challenges or practical applications from mathematical practice
- Verify solutions using Python with standard mathematical libraries
- Document problem statements clearly and provide verified correct answers
What We're Looking For
- Degree in Statistics or related fields
- Python proficiency for numerical validation
- 2+ years of professional experience: applied, research, or teaching experience is applicable
- 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
- Professional certifications (e.g., CMME, SAS Certifications, CAP)
- Experience in international or applied projects
Technical Stack
- Python
- Numpy
- SciPy
- Sympy
- MATLAB
- R
- C
- SQL
- Pandas
- Stata
Benefits & Compensation
- Compensation varies across projects depending on scope, complexity, and required expertise
- Other projects may offer different earning levels
- Up to $50 per hour equivalent
Work Mode
- Project-based, part-time, non-permanent
- Tasks estimated at 10–20 hours per week during active phases
- Not a guaranteed workload
- Global opportunities
