About the Opportunity

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.

Responsibilities:

• 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.

Education/Experience:

• 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.

Skills:

• Familiarity with E-field simulation platforms such as SimNIBS,

Sim4Life, 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., FreeSurfer, 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.
