Description

  • Design computational material science problems that challenge a frontier AI model and can be verified by code.
  • Select an anchor scientific tool and build tasks around its waveform-processing, inversion, flow-solver, or data-pipeline capabilities.
  • Write Python reference solutions for each problem.
  • Provide required input files, model definitions, or domain definitions when needed.
  • Set the target numerical answer and define an appropriate domain-specific tolerance for correctness.
  • Test and tune tasks in batches of parallel attempts to achieve a 10–30% pass rate.
  • Iterate on problem difficulty by adjusting scenarios, inversion parameters, and solver tolerances based on model behavior.
  • Submit calibrated tasks for senior review and incorporate feedback to improve task quality.
  • Work independently on project-based tasks during active periods of approximately 10–20 hours per week.

Requirements

  • Degree in Material Science or a related field.
  • 2+ years of research, applied, or teaching experience.
  • Python proficiency for writing reference solutions.
  • Ability to work in English at a strong level, with C1+ written English required.
  • Fluency with, or strong willingness to independently learn, at least one scriptable package such as ObsPy, instaseis, pyrocko, MITgcm, xmitgcm, flopy/MODFLOW, or GeoPandas.
  • Ability to design problems that genuinely require a specialized solver rather than generic data wrangling.
  • Open to part-time, non-permanent, project-based work.
  • Willingness to learn independently and ramp up quickly without prior experience in the listed tools.
  • Please submit your CV in English and indicate your level of English proficiency.

Benefits

  • Compensation of up to $45 per hour equivalent, depending on level and pace of contribution.
  • Project-based paid work through Mindrift.
  • Estimated workload of around 10–20 hours per week during active project phases.
  • Opportunity to work on frontier AI evaluation tasks for leading tech companies.
  • Chance to deepen expertise in specialized scientific tools and computational problem design.
  • Potential to gain hands-on experience with seismic, oceanographic, and sub-surface flow problems.
