We are looking for a highly motivated and professional senior physicist to lead and perform research and development at the interface of physics and medicine, in the rapidly developing field of TTFields.
Our physics group is leading an effort to develop a new field of research: Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) dosimetry and treatment planning, and currently specializes in numerical simulations, biophysics research, experimental research, advanced algorithms, and numerical/clinical data analysis.
This is a full-time position, located at our R&D center, Haifa, Israel
ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
Conduct research into the distribution of TTFields within the body using both electromagnetic and heat transfer simulations
Develop algorithms and infrastructure to support simulations and analysis of simulation results and clinical data.
Participate and support team efforts to develop the next generations of devices and treatment planning platforms for TTFields therapy.
Participate in research and development collaborations with internal groups of engineers and scientists, and with external researchers from academia.
Present results at internal meetings, seminars, and external scientific conferences; contribute to writing scientific papers and patent applications.
