We are looking to strengthen our biophysical modeling group and have opened several positions.

Your challenges:

  • Develop a deep understanding of the biophysics underlying temporal interference stimulation (TIS)1, and the state of the art in research and (clinical) applications in this area
  • Assist in the construction and simulation of detailed biophysical models of TIS in the brain and central nervous system, including tissue geometry/properties, electrode configurations, EM field propagation and dosimetry
  • Support the ongoing development of specialized software for the planning and optimizing TIS in humans
  • Support research activities to identify appropriate exposure metrics for successful TIS/neuromodulation
  • Additional peripheral activities, e.g., cloud integration of TIS planning and optimization tools, consideration of various aspects of the user interface and user experience, support for tool users
  • Clear communication of methods and results to (internal) team members and (external) clients

Your strengths:

  • University degree (Master or PhD) in (bio)physics, mathematics, medical physics, or biomedical engineering
  • Advanced programming competence (Python, C++, Matlab)
  • Working knowledge of Docker, HTML, front- and back-end development experience is a plus
  • Experience with computational modeling software (e.g., Sim4Life, COMSOL, Ansys)
  • Strong sense of responsibility and commitment to the highest quality standard of work
  • Self-motivation, good organizational and communication skills, impeccable attention to detail, friendly personality, and team-spirit
  • Ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously, to work independently in a fast-paced setting, and to meet tight deadlines
  • Commitment to effectively respond to the needs of partners and customers
