Freelance Quantum Research Scientist (Python)

About the role

We are looking for a freelance Quantum Research Scientist with strong Python skills to design and develop computational physics problems for AI testing and evaluation projects. This is a project‑based, remote opportunity that supports leading tech companies in improving AI systems.

Key responsibilities

• Design original computational physics problems that reflect real research workflows in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics.
• Create Python‑based tasks using libraries such as NumPy, SciPy, and SymPy that are computationally intensive and cannot be solved manually within reasonable timeframes.
• Verify solutions programmatically with standard physics simulation libraries and ensure correctness.
• Document problem statements clearly and provide verified answer sets.

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+).
• Creative thinking and ability to translate real research challenges into problem statements.

Required skills

• Python programming.
• NumPy, SciPy, SymPy.
• Experience with physics simulation libraries and numerical simulation methods.

What we offer

• Project‑based freelance contract with flexible hours (estimated 10‑20 hours per week during active phases).
• Compensation up to $45 per hour, depending on contribution level and pace.
• Remote work with the freedom to choose project timelines.
