Career Opportunities

Now Open: Applications are currently being accepted for this position.
Join a mission-driven team developing advanced cybersecurity platforms that protect hospitals and clinics from cybersecurity threats.
This position will help build Whole-Hospital Simulations (WHS)—realistic testbeds that emulate healthcare environments—and Vulnerability Mitigation Platforms (VMPs) that safeguard medical devices and both clinical and non-clinical networks.
Ready to change the game in healthcare security? We’re building the future of patient safety—and we want you on the team. As a Visiting Researcher, you’ll dive into cutting-edge projects that matter:
  • Whole-Hospital Simulations that mimic real-world complexity.
  • Vulnerability Mitigation Platforms that protect critical networks.
This isn’t about checklists. It’s about resilience—how hospitals fail and recover under attack. Your work will help shift the entire industry from compliance to true security, influencing medical device regulations and shaping the next generation of healthcare cybersecurity.
What’s in it for you?
  • Collaborate with top minds from academia, industry, and government.
  • Experiment with real-world systems, not just theory.
  • Mentor students and guide research that impacts lives.
Who should apply? If you’ve got serious chops in cybersecurity, healthcare tech, embedded systems—or you’re a penetration testing pro—this is your playground. A master’s degree is great, but deep experience speaks louder. Bring your expertise in systems evaluation, medical device security, or requirements engineering, and let’s make healthcare safer together.
The Details:
  • Appointment: Several months to one year (renewable).
  • 100% externally funded.
  • Location: Work alongside faculty and researchers in a collaborative environment.
Your Impact:
  • Lead experiments on hospital-scale security.
  • Advise teams and shape methodologies.
  • Publish findings that move the industry forward.

Sound like your next adventure? Let’s talk. Apply now and help us redefine what security means in healthcare.

Location: Laboratory in Boston, MA (Main Campus)
Documents required:
  • Resume
  • Cover Letter
  • Letters of Reference from up to three Faculty Members (Recommended)
Core Qualifications:
  • PhD in computer science, electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, or a closely related field.
  • Strong citation record in embedded systems security, medical device cybersecurity, healthcare technology security, or a closely related subfield.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead interdisciplinary research teams, healthcare partners, and industry collaborators.
  • Demonstrated ability to mentor and direct students to ensure alignment to a mission-driven research program.
  • Experience with requirements engineering, penetration testing, or systems evaluation is highly desired.
  • While programming skills are valuable, the Principal Research Scientist position is not intended for software development but will involve close collaboration with software development team members.
  • A strong candidate will provide letters of reference from three faculty members who can address these qualifications and offer comparisons with peers.
Compensation Grade/Pay Type: 111S
Expected Hiring Range: $86,490.00 - $122,163.75
