Job Description

About the Role

We are looking for a technically strong Scientific Simulation Intern to design, implement, and run physics-based simulations using GEANT4. The role focuses on modeling physical interactions, materials, and geometries, running computational experiments, and analyzing results.

This internship is hands-on and code-heavy. You will be expected to build simulations from scratch, validate results, and iterate based on experimental or theoretical inputs.

What You Will Work On

Developing GEANT4 simulations for physical interaction modeling
Creating and validating 3D geometries and material definitions
Running Monte Carlo simulations and analyzing outputs
Optimizing simulation parameters for accuracy and performance
Comparing simulation results with measured or reference data
Documenting models, assumptions, and results clearly

Required Skills

Strong fundamentals in physics, applied mathematics, or engineering
Working knowledge of C++
Familiarity with Linux / macOS command-line environments
Basic understanding of numerical methods or Monte Carlo simulations
Ability to read technical papers and implement models from literature

Preferred (Not Mandatory)

Prior exposure to GEANT4, MCNP, FLUKA, or similar simulation frameworks
Experience with data analysis tools (Python, ROOT, MATLAB, etc.)
Basic understanding of materials, detectors, or sensor modeling
Experience compiling large C++ projects (CMake, Make, Ninja)

Who Should Apply

Final-year undergraduate students, master's students, or early PhD candidates
Students comfortable with coding + physics, not just theory
Self-driven learners who can debug, iterate, and validate their own work
Candidates interested in computational modeling and scientific software development

What You Will Gain

Real-world experience building production-grade scientific simulations
Deep exposure to Monte Carlo methods and physics-based modeling
Mentorship in simulation design, validation, and result interpretation
Opportunity to contribute to publishable or product-grade simulation work
Strong portfolio project for higher studies or R&D roles

Selection Process

Short technical screening (physics + coding)
Small take-home or live simulation exercise
Technical discussion on modeling approach and assumptions
