Senior Experimental Physicist

Senior Experimental Physics

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a Senior Experimental Physicist to join our Physics Group and contribute to the development of a new field of research: TTFields dosimetry and treatment planning.

This role focuses on experimental research and development at the intersection of physics and medicine. You will drive experimental activities related to TTFields delivery optimization and simulation validation, developing experimental methods and infrastructure that support the understanding of electric fields and heat transfer in biological tissues.

Working alongside a multidisciplinary team of physicists, engineers, biologists, and physicians, you will help advance the next generations of TTFields devices and treatment-planning platforms.

This is a full-time, on-site position based in our Haifa office, reporting to the Physics Team Lead.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

• Drive and perform experimental research and development activities, with a focus on TTFields delivery optimization and simulation validation.
• Develop experimental methods and infrastructure to validate electrical and heat-transfer simulations.
• Develop methods to characterize the electrical properties of tissues.
• Develop physical phantoms to investigate electric field and thermal distributions.
• Collaborate on research and development activities with internal engineering and scientific teams, as well as external academic researchers.
• Present research findings at internal meetings, seminars, and external scientific conferences.
• Contribute to the preparation of scientific papers and patent applications.
• Support the development of next-generation devices and treatment-planning platforms for TTFields therapy.
• Contribute to other R&D activities within the Physics Group, including fundamental research in theoretical biophysics and dosimetry.

WHAT YOU BRING

• Ph.D. in Physics, Medical Physics, Mechanical Engineering (thermal aspects), Biomedical Engineering, Electro-Optics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• At least 3 years of proven experience in experimental physics research and development.
• Understanding of basic electrical measurement principles and experience measuring electrical parameters using laboratory instruments.
• Proficiency in Python and/or MATLAB.
• Excellent communication skills in both English and Hebrew.
• Research experience in industry or academia (postdoctoral experience) 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.
• Experience with COMSOL Multiphysics, preferably with a focus on Heat Transfer and/or AC/DC modules, is an advantage.

WHO YOU ARE

• A creative, data-driven researcher who approaches scientific challenges with curiosity and initiative.
• A proactive, hands-on professional with a can-do attitude.
• A collaborative team player who enjoys working in a multidisciplinary environment with physicists, engineers, biologists, and physicians.
• Able to manage multiple activities and priorities while maintaining a strong focus on research quality and scientific outcomes.
