Education
- (Not required) – DoDevelop computational models that simulate heat transfer in biological tissue exposed to magnetically activated nanopartic
We are looking for a scientist or engineer with strong computational and physics expertise to help develop advanced modeling tools for heat transport in biological systems. This role focuses on building simulation frameworks that model how magnetic nanoparticles generate heat in tissue and translating those results into insights that can inform therapeutic strategies. The ideal candidate enjoys working at the interface of computational modeling, biomedical engineering, and applied research. You will contribute to the development of simulation tools that connect physics-based models with clinically meaningful outcomes . This is an opportunity to play a key role in advancing emerging hyperthermia technologies through rigorous modeling, data integration, and cross-disciplinary collaboratio n. What You’ll
