We are looking for a highly motivated and professional Senior Experimental Physicist for a full-time position, to be part of our physics group in our R&D center.
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, physical algorithms, data analysis, and biophysics-based research.
In this position, you will be responsible for driving and performing experimental research and development at the interface of physics and medicine, in the rapidly developing field of TTFields.
ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
Drive the experimental research and development activities in the group, with a focus on TTFields delivery optimization and simulation validation.
Develop the experimental methods and infrastructure for:
Validation of electrical and heat-transfer simulations.
Characterization of electric properties of tissues.
Development of physical phantoms for investigating electric field and thermal distributions.
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.
Participate and support team efforts to develop the next generations of devices and treatment-panning platforms for TTFields therapy.
Actively support other R&D activities in the physics team, including fundamental research in theoretical biophysics and dosimetry.
Requirements: Ph.D. in Physics/ Medical Physics/ Mechanical Engineering (thermal aspects)/ Biomedical Engineering/ Electro-Optics/ Electrical Engineering or a related field.
Knowledge:
Proven ability to perform research and development in experimental physics.
Research experience in industry or academia (post-doc) is an advantage.
Experimental background in medical physics, interactions of electric fields with the human body, and/or heat transfer in biological tissues is an advantage.
Team player capable of working in a multi-disciplinary environment involving physicists, engineers, biologists and physicians.
Highly creative, data-driven, and multitasking, with a proactive can-do attitude.
Proficiency in coding in MATLAB and/or Python
Excellent communication skills in both English and Hebrew
This position is open to all candidates.
