Research Engineer

Northeastern University is seeking a motivated Research Engineer to support computational modeling and imaging efforts investigating the effects of non-ionizing electromagnetic fields on the human nervous system. Working under the direction of Prof. Yarossi, this position will support the development of head models and E-field simulations, working alongside the Research Scientist and in collaboration with the Northeastern Center for Translational Neuroimaging.

• Support creation and segmentation of head models for E-field simulation.
• Assist in developing and applying computational modeling pipelines.
• Support neuron modeling efforts, including implementation and testing of multi-compartment models.
• Support imaging data processing and analysis in coordination with project collaborators.
• Contribute to technical reporting, documentation, and dissemination of project results.

BS required (MS preferred) in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Physics, or a closely related field. Experience with computational modeling, simulation, or imaging analysis is preferred.

• Familiarity with E-field simulation platforms such as SimNIBS, Sim4
  
  Life, CST Studio Suite, or ANSYS HFSS is a plus.
• Familiarity with neuron modeling tools such as NEURON, or neural mass modeling approaches, is a plus.
• Working knowledge of image segmentation and processing tools/pipelines (e.g., Free Surfer, SPM, or similar) is beneficial.
• Solid programming and numerical computing skills (e.g., MATLAB, Python).
• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a multi-disciplinary research team.
• Strong attention to detail and interest in electromagnetic field effects on biological tissue.

In compliance with federal government contract requirements, U.S. citizenship is required for this role. Security clearance is not required.
